Remember the case
An Easter egg was delivered to the house of Mirian Lira Rocha, in Imperatriz, Maranhão, last Wednesday (16). Along with the candy, there was a note with a seemingly loving message: “with love, to Mirian Lira. Happy Easter.”
That night three family people consumed the chocolate: 38 -year -old Mirian Lira; his 7 -year -old son, João Pedro; and his 13 -year -old teenage daughter, Evely Fernanda.
Shortly after eating the candy, the three people started to get sick. The situation worsened quickly to the boy João Pedro, who died on Thursday (17). His mother, Mirian, and his sister, Evely, were rescued and taken in serious condition to the Municipal Hospital of Imperatriz, where they were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The Maranhão Civil Police began the investigation, suspected of poisoning. The first findings pointed to Jordélia Pereira Barbosa, 35, ex-girlfriend of Mirian Lira’s current companion, as the main suspicion.
The investigations revealed that Jordelia would have traveled from Santa Inês to Empress to execute the crime. She would have bought the Easter egg disguised with a wig not to be recognized, according to images of security cameras. The candy was delivered to Mirian’s house by a motorcycle taxi driver, who, according to police, was unaware of the content.
Police arrested Jordelia on Thursday afternoon (17) on a long-distance bus while she was trying to return to Santa Inês. With it were found the wig and the goggles of the disguise, as well as other objects.
The main motivation investigated by the police is jealousy and revenge, due to Jordelia’s previous relationship with Mirian’s current companion.
João Pedro’s body was sent to necropsy at the Empress Legal Medical Institute (IML), and blood samples from Mirian and Evely were collected for laboratory analysis, seeking to identify the substance used in poisoning.
