In early July 2026, a woman in Maceió died after being burned by her ex‑partner, highlighting a lethal instance of domestic violence involving fire. Later that month, police in Campo Grande arrested a woman who doused her husband with alcohol and set him ablaze during a domestic dispute, resulting in severe second‑degree burns. Both cases are being treated as serious domestic‑violence crimes and illustrate a disturbing pattern of fire‑based assaults within Brazilian households.
