Autoridades policiais estão investigando um caso de homicida de uma cabo-verdiana em Pawtucket e suicídio do seu marido como crime de paixão.
PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island -- Maria Almeida, vulgo Di, de 34 anos foi encontrada morta a facadas dentro da sua casa na cidade de Pawtucket pelo filho adoptado, Derick, de 7 anos, por volta das 3 horas da tarde ontem.
As autoridades suspeitaram do seu marido António dos Santos de 35 anos e quando chegaram à casa da mãe dele em Brockton por volta das 6:30 da tarde, encontraram-lhe morte na sua garagem com sinais de enforcamento.
A polícia de Brockton acredita que António matou Maria e depois suicidou-se.
Antes de emigrar para os Estados Unidos, António dos Santos era agente da Polícia na ilha da Boavista em Cabo Verde.
Maria Almeida era natural de Paiol (Praia). Frequentou o Liceu Domingos Ramos e acabou por emigrar para os EUA em 1996. Deixou um filho de 15 anos (Junior) e uma filha de 14 anos (Jessica).
A pedido dos pais, que querem enterrar a filha na sua terra natal, o corpo de Maria será transportada na próxima terça-feira para Cabo Verde.

Now I have a question that someone may answer: was she from Paiol, praia?
I agree with you but I can see why a man would loose his mind and go nuts over this specially when he sees the wife's boyfriend not working and living at large like a pimp over his child support hard earned money that was supposed to go to his children.
R.I.P Maria

I have interceded on her behalf for mercy.
Let's all pray for mercy and peace.
Meus pesames!

Deborah DeBare, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence
“Our hearts go out to the family, friends and community of Maria Almedia Turmel. We
are horrified and saddened by this act of domestic violence. Her death is a tragic
reminder that we have a long way to go to achieve a Rhode Island that is free from
violence in the home.”
“This tragedy reminds us that when someone murders his or her intimate partner, there
is always a history of abuse in that relationship. The abuse may not be documented in
the form of police reports or visits with victim advocates. Neighbors or co-workers may
not know the true extent of the abuse. From afar, a couple in an abusive relationship
might really seem like a ‘nice couple’ or one with ‘normal problems’. Abusers often
show a very different face to the outside world than they do to their victims, and victims
may be ashamed to admit the abuse.”
“We know, however, that when there is an intimate partner murder, there was always
abuse beforehand. We know this because domestic violence is a systematic exertion of
power, which escalates over time, by an abuser who believes that he or she is entitled to
control the victim. Tragically, murder is the ultimate expression of that control.”
“We must remember that domestic violence happens in all communities, and no race,
class or group of people is exempt. Victims may be hesitant to contact the police for
many reasons, including fears of retaliation from the abuser, economic insecurities
about losing the abuser’s income, concerns about immigration status, and emotional
connections to a long term relationship. However, no victim should suffer in silence.”
“We all must make a commitment to reach out to anyone who we suspect is in an
abusive situation. Domestic violence happens in every community, and no one is
immune to it. The good news is that help is available. There are six local domestic
violence agencies in our state that provide a wide array of services, including 24 hour
hotline support, emergency shelter, support groups and assistance with the legal system.
We urge all Rhode Islanders to remember that if they hear or see someone being hurt to
call 911 immediately and if they or someone they know needs support to call the
statewide Helpline at 800-494-8100.”
To all who can "understand" this crime you should seek help. Cape Verdean men I hate to break this to you but women are not evil. Maybe someone cheats on you, maybe you get a divorce, maybe she's just not that into you. No matter what grow some balls and move on peacefully.
It is disgusting to discuss someone who is not here to defend herself and it proves your cowardly character. I am disappointed in Cape Verde tonight.
