A disturbing case of domestic violence in Brasilia, Brazil, has led to the arrest of a man accused of violently assaulting his wife by cutting out her breast implant and throwing out of a window, as reported by the Mirror.
The attack, which took place in the early hours of the morning in the Nucleo Bandeirante neighborhood, left the woman severely injured.
According to local reports, the woman had recently undergone breast augmentation surgery when a dispute with her husband escalated into a horrific act of violence. The suspect allegedly punched her multiple times in the head and stomach before using a knife to remove one of her implants. Afterward, he threw the implant out of the window, where authorities later recovered it.
Emergency services rushed the victim to a hospital, where medical professionals attended to her injuries and worked to restore the removed implant. During a search of the property, police found and confiscated the knife believed to have been used in the assault. The suspect has reportedly confessed to the crime and is now in custody on charges of domestic violence.
This shocking case is one of many instances of domestic violence reported in Brazil, where gender-based violence remains a critical issue. A recent report by the Brazilian Forum on Public Safety revealed an alarming increase in violence against women, including record-high cases of rape and physical assault. Experts believe the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to a surge in domestic violence incidents.
Samira Bueno, the forum’s executive director, noted that Brazil has always struggled with high levels of violence but warned that the pandemic may have intensified existing tensions in households. According to the latest statistics, incidents of sexual harassment rose by nearly 49%, while stalking cases increased by over 34%.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the motive behind the attack, and the legal process against the suspect is underway.
