According to investigators, the incident was preceded by an argument over money. Selma allegedly claimed that Marigerson had promised to pay her for sexual services approximately one week before the murder but failed to give her the agreed amount. During another confrontation, she allegedly grabbed a knife that was inside the house and stabbed the man in the neck. Despite receiving assistance from bystanders and subsequently being taken to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
A video later surfaced online showing Marigerson still alive, sitting on a plastic chair while several local residents provided him with first aid. Selma Soares Cordovil can also be seen in the footage. She was later arrested in connection with his murder.
Police recovered a knife approximately 20 centimeters long at the scene, which was allegedly used in the attack. Selma Soares Cordovil was charged with intentional homicide and transferred to a women’s prison in Ananindeua, where she awaited further court proceedings.
