Two separate stabbing incidents involving female suspects have been reported in different Brazilian regions.

In Rio Branco, a 61-year-old man was struck in the neck with a knife by a suspect identified as Roseli Almeida. The victim was stabilized and transported to an emergency care unit. The suspect is currently a fugitive after reportedly cutting her electronic monitoring ankle bracelet; witnesses noted she had previously expressed intent to kill someone to be arrested. This was the second such attack by the same woman in the region within a month.

In Rondonópolis, a woman was detained after fatally stabbing her husband, Luciano Lemos de Oliveira, at a fertilizer company yard. The woman claimed she acted in self-defense, alleging her husband attacked her following a physical altercation. Authorities have seized the weapon and are investigating the scene.
