A Brazilian woman, Cristina D’Avila Teixeira Rodrigues, shot dead her ex-boyfriend because he refused to pay for her boob job.
The 24-year-old was arrested in Brazil for allegedly executing businessman Paulo Roberto Moraes Teixeira Junior with a gunshot to the back of the head.
She reportedly handed herself to police in the city of Manaus on March 8, three days after committing the alleged crime.
The victim owned an internet installation company, where he met Christina, and police report say he was fatally shot on Friday afternoon, March 5 with a .380 calibre pistol.
He was then rushed to hospital, but died on Sunday, March 7.
According to Rodrigo, the victim’s brother, Rodrigues killed her ex because he refused to pay for her silicone breast implants, which can cost around £1,300 ($1,800) in Brazil.
He told local Brazilian media: “He gave her a car, a job, money.
“She wanted silicone, but in times of pandemic, the company was cutting costs and he could not give her this surgery.
“They fought a lot because of this on the night she took my brother’s life.”
The victim’s sister, Roberta, told local media her brother employed her at his company and they had a year-and-a-half-long relationship.
She said:
“From what we saw, she was just with him out of self-interest. She liked to show off, but she never posted anything about him.
“It seems he discovered something serious about her and they broke up.”
According to Roberta, the suspect went to the victim’s house and said she wanted to speak to him.
Hours later, his family was told he had been shot.
She appeared with a lawyer at the Specialized Homicide Police and Kidnappings (DEHS) on Monday, March 8, but claimed the shooting was accidental.
