The 23-year-old initially staged a kidnapping to hide the crime.

The father and mother of the child had not been together for some time. The man was arrested for robbery in 2020, but was later acquitted. After the news, he went in despair, with his new partner, to the place where the body was found, 400 meters away from the house where the couple lived before they separated.
