The court ordered Edison Brittes, the defendant arrested for the murder of player Daniel Correia Freitas , to be transferred from the Central Penitentiary of the State, in Piraquara, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, to the Casa de Cust?dia de S?o Jos? dos Pinhais.
On Friday (12) and Monday (15), Judge Luciani Regina Martins de Paula, from the 1st Criminal Court of S?o Jos? dos Pinhais, also asked the Paran? Penitentiary Department (Depen) for explanations about mistreatment that Edison said have suffered in prison.
Edison has been in prison since November 2018 . He is the only pre-trial detainee among the seven defendants in the lawsuit, which includes his wife, Cristiana, and daughter, Alana Brittes.
The player Daniel was killed in S?o Jos? dos Pinhais, in October 2018 . His body was found with the mutilated sexual organ, near a country road. Edison said he killed him because the player tried to rape his wife .
Brittes is responsible for triple-qualified homicide (awkward motive, cruel means and appeal that prevented the victim's defense), concealment of the corpse, procedural fraud, corruption of minors and coercion in the course of the process.
The decision to transfer Edison , according to Justice, meets a request from the defense, which highlighted that the family of Brittes lives in S?o Jos? dos Pinhais .
On Tuesday afternoon (16), Depen informed that the decision to transfer the defendant was forwarded to the Central de Vacancies for the appropriate measures.
Defense alleges mistreatment
The defense alleged to the Justice that, in the Central Penitentiary, Edison was placed in total isolation for 60 days without motivation and, later, put back in absolute isolation for another 50 days.
The lawyer Cl?udio Dalledone J?nior stated that the client suffered "systematic physical attacks by the agents" . The defense also said that the defendant received sour food and ran out of drinking water .
Still in the transfer request, the defense pointed out that the prisoner was placed in a dark environment, without light , being "impossible to know when it is day and when it is night", without sunbathing, with a wet mattress.
According to the lawyers, the aggressions "were accentuated after the defendant reported the abuses to the authorities in Piraquara", and there was a movement to "place the prison mass against the inmate Edison".
The Paran? Penitentiary Department said it will open an administrative proceeding to investigate the aforementioned complaints.
Until the last update of this report, G1 was awaiting the return of the defense of Edison Brittes.
Remember the case
The murder of Daniel Freitas took place after the 18th birthday party of Allana Brittes , Edison's daughter, which started at a nightclub in Curitiba, on the night of October 26, a Friday, and continued at the Brittes family home , in S?o Jos? dos Pinhais.
According to the investigations, it was at the house that Daniel began to be beaten, before being taken to a thicket.
The player, as the Civil Police investigation concluded, was beaten and killed after being caught by Edison Brittes lying on Cristiana's bed. Before the crime, Daniel sent messages and photos to a friend , where he appeared lying next to Cristiana while she slept.
In the investigation, the Civil Police concluded that there was no attempted rape by the player against Cristiana. The reports of the Instituto-M?dico Legal (IML) and the Scientific Police, pointed out that Daniel was killed by the stab wounds to his neck.
In February, the court ordered Edison Brittes and the other six defendants to be brought before a popular jury. The trial has no date to be held.
