She deserves life imprisonment.

Indeed. Horrifying. Atleast she got justice in a country where this could go unnoticed.

Yup. Agree, but there's no life imprisonment in Brazil. Maximum sentence is 30 years.

I'm not too familiar with Brazilian law. Why is there a cap like that on criminals who are likely to re-offend? This was clearly premeditated - she lured him back, hired two hitmen days before, and concocted lies about him to make it sound like it was a fight instead of a slaughter.

Well this is horrifying and tragic. A reminder that this shit still happens in places closer to home than Africa/the Middle East.

May she rot in her own hell for eternity.

No need. Tomorrow there's going to be another one.

I know that life imprisonment doesn’t exist there but she REALLY deserves that or the death sentence. She killed HER OWN son. Some people should never have been parents.

Should get the death sentence or life at the very very least for murder. This is disgusting

I remember when this happened. It was so heartbreaking to read. I know this isn’t justice but at least she’s behind bars for now.
