Hanged
Dartilly was found dead in circumstances which initially suggested a possible suicide. Several months later a municipal guard was arrested on murder charges.
On the night of this Thursday (27), the Civil Police of Maranhão arrested a man identified by investigations as being the main suspect of committing a homicide crime that claimed the life of the woman Dartilly Ritielly Ferreira Assunção, which occurred in the municipality of Viana, in the Baixada Maranhense region.
According to the 6th Regional Police Station of Viana, the crime would have occurred on March 29, 2024. After an investigation with several testimonies, simulated reproduction of the crime scene and reports, the Civil Police concluded that Dartilly Ritielly's case was not a suicide, but a homicide.
The police have requested the arrest of the main suspect of committing the crime. This Thursday, the civil police officers managed to serve the arrest warrant against the man, who is a municipal guard in Viana. The arrest took place inside the City Hall, the place where the suspect works.
After legal proceedings at the police station, the suspect was taken to a prison unit in the region.
Dartilly's murder came to light too late for her name to be included on the TDoR 2024 memorial list released by Transgender Europe (TGEU) in November 2024.
