This is the horror movie moment when an accused killer drags a suitcase down a street with a woman’s body crammed inside.
Suspect Otavio Rafael Felicetti is said to have brought the woman to his home in Foz do Iguacu, Parana State, Brazil, and then stabbed her to death after binging on cocaine.
Victim Gabriele da Rosa’s body was found in the abandoned suitcase five days later on 18th December, say police.
Grim CCTV footage from the night she died shows 30-year-old Felicetti struggling to pull the wheelie case along a road with one hand while he carries a bag with the other.
A day after the killing, reports local media, Felicetti quit his job without explanation. And handed over the keys to his rented house before disappearing.
Police say the house showed traces of “blood, indicating that a crime had occurred in that location”.
Felicetti’s stepson, who has not been named, was arrested and confessed to police that he had been in the house when Gabriele died.
He said all three of them took cocaine, and that after killing Gabriele. He and his stepdad snorted the drug beside Gabriele’s body.
Police investigating believe the victim was a call girl and say they are hunting Felicetti as the search for the suspect continues.
