247 – Jeniffer Viturino jumped to her death from the 15th floor of the São Rafael Tower, in Parque das Nações, Lisbon, property of her boyfriend, Miguel Alves da Silva. This is how the death of the Brazilian model was reported by the Portuguese press. But the local police do not rule out the possibility of murder, which places the boyfriend as the main suspect.
According to the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã, the young woman left a farewell letter to friends and family, stating that she wanted to end her life because she could no longer endure the domestic violence she was suffering. The model had lived in Portugal for several years with her family and younger siblings. She began dating Miguel a year ago, who inherited a fortune linked to the aviation business. Sources told the Portuguese daily that the presence of "beautiful women" in the apartment was frequent.
The Forensic Medical Institute found bruises and scratches on the young woman's body, but the police declined to provide further information on the matter, stating that they are unaware of the reasons for the model's death. According to Silas Leite, on-duty advisor at the Brazilian Consulate in Lisbon, the consulate has not yet been informed of the Brazilian woman's death. Miguel Alves da Silva works in the civil aviation sector in Portugal and owns the entire 15th floor of the building. He has not yet provided any clarification to the authorities.
