Man who killed couple with stabbings claims religious leader guided him to commit the crime

Portal O Dia2 September 2026 at 08:18

The individual identified by the initials F.E.A. was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the crime of double homicide. The crime was committed with stabbings against a couple in 2007, in the municipality of Buriticupu, in the state of Maranhão.

F.E.A. claims that a religious leader guided him to commit the crime. The defendant's defense uses this allegation as an argument in the process, trying to justify the client's action.

The case involves a double homicide that occurred more than a decade ago. The 18-year prison sentence reflects the gravity of the crime committed against the two victims.

The municipality of Buriticupu, located in the interior of Maranhão, was the location where the crime occurred that resulted in the defendant's conviction. The case has been proceeding in the Maranhão justice system since then.

These appliances combine electricity, water, and high temperatures, and a malfunction can cause a fire that goes unnoticed while the family sleeps. The dryer deserves special attention due to lint buildup in the filter, which can impair ventilation.
