accomplice Paula Thomaz, who would lie in wait for 10 to 15 minutes, covered by
a sheet on the back seat of a Volkswagen Santana car,
It is worth noting that on the same day the accused states several times that, at the end of the

recording, would pick up the woman at Barra Shopping, a prearranged alibi among the
two indicted.

The driver who was with the children who took the pictures with the
actors, follow Guilherme's route after leaving the studio. Driver and children,
they notice when Guilherme stops on the shoulder of Alvorada Avenue, in the
near a gas station, despite the insistence of the children to stay there
the driver continues his route back home. There, Guilherme de Pádua is seen and
recognized by the gas station attendants.

Daniella leaves a few minutes after Guilherme and stops at the gas station on the avenue.

Daniella, both leave the gas station with Daniella unconscious, the gas station attendants

A few minutes after Daniella was intercepted by the couple, residents

from a condominium in Barra, located near a sinister thicket and without any
lighting, and decide to call the police to investigate the reason for the presence of
two cars stopped at the edge of the public road in the area of the thicket. The lawyer
Hugo da Silveira, who was spending Christmas in Rio, gets in his car and goes through two in
in front of the vehicles parked in front of the thicket, in order to note the license plates.

The police arrive at the scene of the incident to investigate the report, but
they find only one vehicle at the location, and after checking they discover that the vehicle

escort belongs to Raul Gazzola. As usual, one of the police officers goes to the station
to provide the registration of the police report, and the other stays waiting in the

dangerous, the policeman decided to take cover behind a tree and stumbled upon the body of
a woman, where the victim was later identified as Daniella Perez
Gazolla.

Daniella was murdered with 18 stab wounds in her heart and neck.
there were no defense injuries on his body from the attacks suffered, for
minutes before the crime she had received a violent punch to the right side of her face,

to commit a crime, to offer condolences to Daniella's family, with the intention of strengthening
even more your alibi, and before leaving the police station, Guilherme to the producer

participation in the crime of homicide against Daniella Perez Gazolla, having in

subsequent preventive arrests decreed.

TALVANE DE MORAES - GENERAL DIRECTOR
TECHNICAL POLICE DEPARTMENT:

Talvane de Moraes confirms in his testimony the fact of the injuries.

they will present in both aspects an acute form, as per the following excerpt:

...the internal injuries, of the heart and the lung, speak more in favor of a
instrument like a dagger, knife, and blade...

Process document, Carlos Alberto de Oliveira, physician (UFRJ), expert

legal expert, belonging to the Brazilian Society of Legal Medicine, full professor of
Forensic Medicine responds to the forensic medical inquiry about the instrument used in the
crime practice:
...the scissors, to be considered a cutting tool, must be activated

very superficial lesions, others that would be restricted to the epidermis...

And it also claims that the blows were precise and hit the heart 8 times.
from Daniella, still highlights the difficulty presented by the human body. It is important
remember that in the precordium (middle of the thorax), where many of the blows are located,
there is the external bone, which obviously makes penetration more difficult; without, of course,
not to forget the intercostal muscles that in a young person with an active life are
good caliber, and concludes:

...we can conclude that the victim was killed with a sharp cutting instrument (knife
from a point or dagger) and that the location where the corpse is found was not, certainly,
the same place where the fatal blows were dealt...

Another piece of evidence that refutes the maneuver: stabbing someone with a
an open scissors inevitably causes injuries to the hand of the one who stabs,
because the person would have to grip the blade to execute the strikes, and reports:

...Neither Paula Thomaz nor Guilherme de Pádua had any injuries.

I put a chokehold on Daniella, and she falls and I think she is dead.
in an attempt to simulate the robbery, I struck Daniella's body with scissors,

homicide crime, according to the following excerpt from the testimony:
