Overview
- The Ceará Civil Police, which sent its report May 10, indicted brothers Ronivaldo and Evangelista Rocha dos Santos for attempted feminicide in an attack with a farm blade known locally as a foice against 21‑year‑old Ana Clara de Oliveira.
- After a 10 to 12 hour surgery at Fortaleza’s IJF hospital to reattach both hands, she underwent more procedures on Friday, May 8, and Monday, May 11, to address a finger complication and repair a torn leg tendon.
- Doctors say she is awake, out of intensive care, moving her fingers, and expected to need months of physical therapy to regain function.
- Case files describe a pattern of domestic abuse and detail that Ronivaldo ordered the assault after using deception to get her to open a window, with recordings and testimony placing him telling his brother to kill her.
- A police review of seized phones points to loan‑sharking by Ronivaldo and signs of drug trafficking by Evangelista, and those leads will move to separate investigations.
