Manaus, Wednesday (8) – The Amazonas Civil Police arrested two men and apprehended a teenager in connection with the murder of influencer Beatriz Matos dos Santos, 26, known as “Porcelana”.
The crime took place on the night of July 27th in Vila da Prata neighborhood, West Zone of Manaus.
The Homicide and Kidnapping Specialized Police Unit (DEHS) launched Operation Hellas to locate the suspects. On Wednesday, the operation led to the arrests of Mateus Silva da Silva, 20, and Wandré Pereira Figueiredo, 21, as well as the apprehension of a 17-year-old teenager.
According to the Civil Police, the apprehended teenager was responsible for luring the victim out of her residence by claiming that Beatriz would receive a product to promote on social media.
Mateus and Wandré will face charges of aggravated homicide and will remain in custody awaiting trial. The teenager will be under the supervision of the Juvenile Court.

Two other suspects, identified as Lúcio Geovany de Lima Matos and Vinícius Eduardo Acioly da Mata, are currently being sought for their involvement in the murder.
