Criminal sentencing in Mato Grosso

Overview

Wanderson da Silva Ferreira, also known as ‘Índio’, was sentenced to 53 years and 10 days in prison by a jury court in Jaciara, Mato Grosso. The sentence addresses both qualified feminicide and drug trafficking.

The feminicide conviction stems from a June 27, 2025, incident where Ferreira attacked his former partner, 31-year-old Andreia Ferreira de Souza, with at least ten knife wounds. The court cited aggravating factors including the use of an ambush, cruel means, and the fact that the crime was motivated by domestic violence and contempt for the female victim.

Following the attack, Ferreira attempted to flee on a motorcycle but was apprehended by the Military Police on the BR-364 highway. During his interception, police discovered 36 packages of cocaine. Consequently, the jury allocated 5 years, 5 months, and 550 days of the total sentence to drug trafficking.

In September 2026, judicial reports noted Ferreira’s sentence as part of a series of significant prison terms issued by Brazilian courts for violent crimes, alongside other notable rulings in states such as Acre, Tocantins, and Salvador.
