The Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) has denied a request for liberty for cardiologist João Jazbik Neto, 78, who is accused of the feminicide of physiotherapist Fabíola Marcotti in Campo Grande. Minister Rogério Schietti Cruz issued the decision to maintain Neto’s preventive detention. Neto faces charges including feminicide, procedural fraud, and illegal possession of firearms. While the defendant previously claimed the victim committed suicide, forensic evidence and necropsy reports indicated Marcotti died from gunshot wounds after being struck multiple times. In recent judicial activity, the STJ reaffirmed Neto’s continued custody as part of a broader series of rulings involving domestic violence and homicide cases across Brazil.
