Court releases suspects in death of young woman thrown without ropes in rope jump

Justice released, this Wednesday (8), two suspects arrested for the death of Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, a young woman thrown without ropes during a rope jump, in Limeira, in the interior of São Paulo. Freedom was granted to João Antonio Pivetta Ribeiro da Silva and Gabriel Barros Martins, who had been imprisoned since June 20.

According to the decision, "the evidence produced throughout this investigation did not show sufficient evidence of authorship in relation to João Antonio Pivetta Ribeiro da Silva and Gabriel Barros Martins, which is why the respective indictment was not carried out." Thus, the temporary arrest of both was revoked.

On the other hand, four other suspected people are still in prison. All of them were denounced by the Public Ministry of São Paulo. They are: Luís Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, Maicon Fernandes Cintra, Vitor de Freitas Gonçalves and Evelyne Dossantos Gonçalves.

Luís Felipe, Maicon and Vitor were charged with homicide with possible intent - when the individual, although not directly wanting the result of death, acts in such a way as to assume the risk of death -, qualified by a base motive and resource that made it impossible to defend the victim.

The MP states that the men were fully aware of the danger of the activity, but failed to take the necessary care to protect Maria Eduarda's safety. According to investigations, the trio acted directly in the shooting of the victim, which is why they were caught in the act, with their arrests later converted into preventive arrests.

Evelyn, in addition to murder, was also indicted for procedural fraud, as she tried to eliminate the camera attached to the young woman's body in an attempt to obstruct the investigation.

According to the findings, Evelyne managed logistics, customer acquisition and commercial advertising for the company. The agency also states that, because it was in this role, it had a duty to guarantee the "minimum safety standards" carried out by the instructors.

In total, the police investigated eight people in the case. In addition to João and Gabriel, the MP promoted the archiving, at least for now, in relation to two other men.

Remember the case
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Farias sought out the company to perform a rope jump, but died after being thrown from the bridge. At the time of the jump, she was not attached to the protection rope.

Witnesses recorded the moment of the accident. In the images, you can hear people screaming when they realized that she was not attached to the security system.

After the incident, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers were carried out by people who were at the scene until the arrival of teams from Samu (Mobile Emergency Care Service). However, Maria Eduarda died at the scene as a result of multiple trauma.

The young woman was laid to rest the day after the accident, at the Jandira Municipal Cemetery, in Greater São Paulo.
