A police officer was chasing his
wife for several minutes before shooting her to death in Uberlandia,
south east Brazil, on October 20.
The fatal shooting began at about 10.50am when the
man chased his wife down a street as she was trying to flee. The video
footage shows a police officer pulling out his handgun and firing
into his wife Veridiana Rodrigues Carneiro, 36, in front of horrified
witnesses.
The woman can be seen collapsed to the ground next to a parked car as
her husband fires up to 11 shots in her lifeless body. Then he calmly
walks out of site of CCTV cameras.
According to local media, the 46-year-old later locked himself in
their family house and only after hours of negotiation with officers
from the Special Actions and Tactics Group surrendered to police.
The couple had an argument before a blood-curdling incident but
nobody knows what exactly triggered the murder. The policeman is now
treated at a psychiatric unit in the Clinical Hospital of the University
of Uberlandia.
