A terrible incident occurred in Brazil. 32-year-old Luciana Paula Figueiredo was caught on camera by other patients while trying to suffocate her 68-year-old mother, Ana Benedita Figueiredo, who was receiving treatment in the hospital.
The incident unfolded as follows: Ana Benedita Figueiredo had been receiving treatment at Dr. Carlos Macieira Hospital in Sao Luis, Brazil, since January 19 due to a pulmonary embolism. In the shared video footage, it can be seen that Luciana covers her mother's mouth and nose with her hand. The elderly woman raises her hand for a moment in response. After the incident was noticed by other patients, hospital staff intervened.
Police sources stated that in the initial investigations, they believed the daughter acted because she was "tired of taking care of her mother." Luciana, in her defense, claimed that she placed her hand over her mother's mouth for a different purpose and did not attempt to kill her.
After the incident, the elderly woman was taken to intensive care, while Luciana was arrested and faced charges of attempted murder.
Luciana's lawyers stated that their client suffers from mental illnesses such as "borderline personality disorder" and "panic disorder," requesting that she continue her treatment in an appropriate health institution.
Judge Janaina Araujo de Carvalho ordered the suspect to undergo a psychological evaluation. While the legal process continues, Luciana remains in custody.
