• The Amazonas court revoked the doctor’s previously granted preventive habeas corpus on competency grounds, lifting a protective order while she remains under investigation.
• Police continue to treat the 6‑year‑old’s death as homicide with the prescribing doctor and the nursing technician identified as suspects responding to the inquiry.
• Witness testimony describes a 3 ml intravenous dose of adrenaline to a child who arrived with suspected laryngitis, which physicians characterized as an overdose.
