Ana Paula Veloso Fernandes, who is studying law in Brazil, quickly made headlines with the murders she committed. The 36-year-old woman confessed to poisoning and killing 4 people in just 5 months. Fernandes also admitted to killing 10 dogs to test the effects of the poison before the murders.
POISONED COFFEE TRAP IN RENTED HOUSE
According to the investigation file, Fernandes deceived her victims by posing as a tenant. It was determined that after poisoning Marcelo Fonseco in Guarulhos in January, she left his body to decompose. In April, she killed Maria Aparecida Rodrigues with poisoned coffee she prepared at her home.
THERE ARE ALSO ACCOMPLICES
The prosecution is focusing on the suspicion that the suspect's twin sister Roberta Cristina Veloso Fernandes and her friend Michelle Paiva da Silva assisted in the murders. It was determined that Fernandes' third victim was Neil Correia da Silva, the father of Da Silva, whom she killed for money. The last victim was 21-year-old Tunisian Hayder Mhazres, with whom she had a romantic relationship in May.
FORBIDDEN POISON FOUND IN HER HOME
Police teams reached a banned insecticide believed to have been used in the murders during a search of Fernandes' home. Sao Paulo Police Chief Halisson Ideiao stated that the suspect had no logical reason, saying, "For Ana Paula, the reason was not important; she just wanted to kill. This situation indicates a classic psychopathic profile."
