Police civil officer Daniela Cunha Moreira murdered in Rio; companion and in‑laws arrested
Police civil officer Daniela Cunha Moreira, 43, was discovered dead inside the trunk of her own car in Iguaba Grande, Rio de Janeiro, after failing to report for a shift. The investigation, classified as femicide, led authorities to arrest her companion, Catiana Clarisse de Oliveira e Souza, and the companion’s parents, Adilson de Oliveira e Souza and Ana Teresa Rodrigues dos Santos. Police say the companion allegedly drugged Daniela and the father assisted in asphyxiating her before moving the body to the vehicle, which was later hidden in a garage. Two firearms were seized during the operation conducted by the 124ª Delegacia de Polícia in Saquarema with support from the 129ª DP in Iguaba Grande. The case has been transferred to the Homicide Division of Niterói, São Gonçalo and Itaboraí for further investigation.
