The Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) has filed charges against three individuals accused of the murder of Moïse Kabagambe.
The Public Prosecutor's Office requested the preventive detention of the defendants and that a preliminary hearing analyze the conduct of those indicted for the crime of failing to provide assistance to the victim.
Brazil Agency - The Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) filed charges yesterday (21) against three people for the death of Moïse Kabagambe, a young Congolese man who was brutally beaten in a kiosk in Barra da Tijuca on January 24. Preventive detention was requested for Fábio Pirineus da Silva, Aleson Cristiano de Oliveira Fonseca and Brendon Alexander Luz da Silva. They were arrested on February 2.
According to the MPRJ (Rio de Janeiro State Public Prosecutor's Office), the trio committed homicide with cruelty and treated Moïse as if he were "a venomous animal," striking him with a baseball bat, punching, kicking, and slapping him. The indictment further states that the crime was committed for a trivial reason, stemming from an argument, and that a method was used that prevented the victim from defending himself, as the young man was knocked down and immobilized while being beaten, and then had his hands and feet tied.
The three will face trial for aggravated homicide. "The defendants Fábio, Brendon, and Aleson, by assaulting the victim with such violence and for such a long time, even when she was already defenseless, effectively contributed to Moïse's death," says the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) requested that the temporary detention of the defendants be converted into preventive detention and that a preliminary hearing be held to analyze the conduct of the accused Jailton Pereira Campos, Matheus Vasconcelos Lisboa, and Viviane Mattos Faria for the crime of failing to provide assistance to the victim. According to the MPRJ, Maicon Rodrigues Gomes was not indicted for the same crime because he sought police assistance.
The inquiry should be forwarded to the Juvenile Court so that the conduct of a minor under 18 years of age involved in the case can be analyzed.
