US Police are investigating the deaths of Brazilian 38-year-old Aline de Lima Ferreira de Castro and 44-year-old Luiz Castro Junior, who were found dead in their Massachusetts home. Agents were called to the incident in the early hours of Friday (2) and the hypothesis is that Aline was stabbed to death by her husband.
Couple from Votuporanga (SP) left two children. Children aged 7 and 11 would have witnessed the crime. An acquaintance of the couple got the news. UOLstated that the minors are under the care of a member of the Brazilian community in the USA.
The family had been in the country for eight years. Aline and Júnior were very careful on social networks and were content with just posting the images with their families. Aline had a non-followers-only profile on Instagram with a little over 20 posts.
Family members set up a crowdfunding fund to transport Aline’s body. One of her relatives said, “We are collecting money for the funeral expenses and the care of her two young children. She was stabbed to death in front of her eldest son by her husband, who killed himself by leaving the children alone.”
The campaign aims to raise US$70,000 (about R$362,000 at current price), and by this afternoon it had already surpassed US$58,000 (R$300,000).
Luiz’s family is also raising money. The target is R$100,000 and they have managed to reach R$15,900 so far.
Police said they were working on the murder-suicide hypothesis. “As a result of the investigation, it was determined that the murder and suicide occurred and the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit was called to the scene. This crime is in isolation at the Murray Way residence and there is no danger to the public as the investigation continues, ” the agency said in a statement.
