FULL TEXT: The case that became known as “Viúva Negra” in Caçador
gained repercussions in the TV program Fantástico, on Rede Globo. The report,
shown on the night of Sunday, 30, revealed the names of the other three
possible victims of Marli Teles de Souza, 46, who was arrested last Tuesday, the
25th.
According to the regional delegate Fabiano Locatelli, on the
day of the arrest, police found at Marli's house a folder with documents on the
four men that she had maintained some kind of relationship with in the past 14
years, all of whom have died.
In addition to the murder of Rui Nadarci Dias de Oliveira,
60, with whom Marli had a son in 1993, she is suspected of causing the the
deaths of ex-husbands Nilson de Souza, 36, and Vânio Nórdio, 38, and her
boyfriend Jocenir de Carvalho, 32 years old.
According to the report, the ex-companions all died in
similar circumstances, with heart attacks and epilepsy, which leads the police
to believe that Marli put prescription drugs in the victims' drinks.
The proceeds of the "black widow" schemes were two
houses, two life insurance policy pay-offs and a monthly pension payment.
Nilson de Souza, 36, military policeman and husband of
Marli, who died in 2000. (Marli started receiving a monthly pension).
Vânio Nórdio, 38, a machine operator and Marli's husband,
who died in 2011. (Marli took out insurance that was not confirmed by the
police).
Jocenir de Carvalho, 32 years old, farmer and boyfriend of
Marli, who died in 2012. (Marli took out an insurance of BR195,000 ).
Rui Nadarci Dias de Oliveira, 60, had a son with Marli in
1993. He died in 2014. (Marli intended to collect BR 1,260,000 insurance, but
was discovered and arrested before collecting it).
In the Fantástico's report to Jocenir's brother, Marinêz de
Carvalho, he confirms that his brother signed a life insurance policy in the
amount of BR 195,000 and that Marli collected the payout. According to police
chief Fabiano Locatelli, the police had investigated Jocenir's death in 2013
after Marli removed the insurance. “We did the exhumation of the body to try to
prove that it was not a natural death, however it had been a year since the
death and it was not possible to detect the presence of substances. Thus, the
case was closed for lack of evidence,” the police chief recalled.
A fifth victim, another boyfriend of Marli, whose name has
not been revealed, also gave an interview saying that the relationship ended
when the woman proposed life insurance. "She told me to take out the
insurance that she paid the monthly fee. I didn't accept it and left the
relationship," he revealed.
Still according to Police Chief Locatelli, the suspected cases
should have their investigations reopened by the police.
“In Rui's case, we can say with certainty that Marli planned
everything. The investigation has a robust body of evidence. In other cases,
she is suspect, as everyone died in similar circumstances, having a heart
attack and epilepsy,” he concluded.
Marli and her son Ulisses are in the Regional Prison of
Caçador and will answer for four crimes, including aggravated homicide.
