Everything was filmed, because the house had cameras”, says son of murdered quilombola leader in Bahia

For Jurandir Pacífico, child of Bernadete Pacífico, the head of Quilombo Pitanga dos Palmares killed this Thursday in Bahia, there is no question that the wrongdoing was a planned execution. As per him, two men, who showed up on a solitary bike, went into Bernadette’s home while she was with her grandkids, put the kids in another room and shot the 72-year-old ialorixá multiple times.

The child affirms that she had been getting dangers and says that the whole activity was recorded by the cameras introduced in the house because of the assurance program of the state government in which she was embedded. Of the eight cameras, four worked, he says.

— Everything was recorded, in light of the fact that the house had cameras since the defensive proportion of 2018, after the homicide of Binho (his sibling). The police have previously gathered the pictures – says Jurandir, who heard from her grandkids how their mom’s last minutes were. “She even asked what was happening. She passed on without knowing anything, it was a fierce execution. In a similar style as my sibling. Presently there’s just me.

In September 2017, Bernadette’s other child, Flávio Gabriel Pacífico, known as “Binho”, was killed with 10 shots inside the quilombo. Suspects were captured preventively, however later delivered, and the wrongdoing was rarely appropriately explained. From that point forward, the family has gotten assurance from the Tactical Police, through the program of the Secretariat of Equity and Common liberties of Bahia (SJDH).

However, Jurandir makes sense of that insurance was restricted to a watch of around 15 minutes daily by the Tactical Police. As per him, on Thursday night, when the homicide happened, the police were not at the scene. Be that as it may, he was unable to affirm whether the specialists passed the local area at a prior time. Bernadette actually had an immediate correspondence channel with the police, however there was no opportunity to initiate it before the homicide.

— The correct thing was for the police to remain there 24 hours per day – fights Jurandir, who lives in Salvador and just visits the quilombo on ends of the week. — As they never settled my sibling’s case, it gave space for them to act once more, sadly. That is reality.

With respect to dangers that Bernadette endured, Jurandir says he didn’t know explicit subtleties. He featured, nonetheless, that in July the ialorixá took part in a gathering with the leader of the STF, Rosa Weber, alongside other quilombola pioneers, in Bahia. On the event, she detailed the dangers she had been enduring and the battle to explain the homicide of her child.

Notwithstanding a few preparations in late a long time against disputable works, including the development of a jail and the undertaking for a railroad inside the Quilombo, Bernadete started to act in the denouncements against unlawful signing in the space of Quilombo Pitanga dos Palmares. Similar issues were at that point looked by Binho, at the hour of his homicide.

“She didn’t make sense of what the dangers were like, she just said she’d been languishing. I suspect everything – says Jurandir, who affirms that he will proceed with the battle of his mom and sibling, yet will fare thee well. — I will not be distant from everyone else. I will accompany God and individuals in the development, however I will be more cautious. I will not be entirely apparent locally, sadly I can’t be extremely uncovered.

When reached, the Bahia Common Police answered that the surveillance camera film was being examined. “The examination is progressing and subtleties won’t be delivered so as not to risk the examination,” finished up the police. For the examination, a team was set up with the Metropolitan Police (Depom), Manslaughter and Individual Insurance (DHPP), Medication Examination and Restraint (Denarc), Police Insight (Plunge) and the Coordination of Land Clashes (CCF), under the assurance of the General Representative Heloisa Campos de Brito.
