Family of girl found dead inside house in Santo Antão demand autopsy outside the island
The relatives of Adianela Fonseca, a young woman from Brava who died in Santo Antão, are demanding that the autopsy be carried out outside the island to ensure impartiality in the case.
Is that the former partner of the deceased is the current health delegate in Porto Novo.
According to a family source, so far they have not been allowed to see the body of the woman who had a "troubled relationship" with her ex-partner.
"This relationship was marked by psychological suffering, betrayals and episodes that even required police intervention. Friends and family knew of her suffering, but she, like so many women, tried to start over silently, always prioritizing the well-being of her children," she said.
According to the same source, the young woman "Nela" as she was known, traveled with her children to Porto Novo and took part in the St. John's parade, having published photos at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, however the images disappeared from social networks.
"Her cell phone is now in the possession of her ex-partner, which raises serious suspicions about the erasure of evidence. According to the ex-husband's version, when he arrived at the house with a friend, he found Adianela lying on the bathroom floor and said that he initially thought she was joking, but when he tried to lift her, he realized that she was unconscious," the source reported.
"He said he tried to revive her, but unfortunately, she died at the scene and that he then took the body to hospital. It is not clear whether the National Police or the Judicial Police were called before or after the transport. That fact alone raises legitimate doubts about the protocol followed and the preservation of the site," he argued.
In this sense, the relatives "demand" the immediate and preventive removal of the health delegate until the conclusion of the investigations and ask for the family's access to the body and official information, with total transparency.
After the autopsy, the family want Nela's remains to be transported to her homeland, where they can say goodbye and give her a proper burial with her loved ones.
The woman left two minor children, the fruit of her relationship with the doctor, and an older child from another relationship.
