A cop who boasted of his ‘throuple’ with his wife and another woman has been sacked from the force after shooting a student during a bar brawl.
Military Police sergeant Erisson de Melo Nery hit headlines in June 2021 for documenting his three-way relationship with Alda Nery and Darlene Oliveira online.
Their Instagram account – which, at the time, had 32,000 followers – has since been taken down.
Now Nery has been sacked after he shot a student during a fight in a bar in Epitaciolandia, Brazil, while off duty.
His expulsion took effect on 26th January and was made public on 9th February.
The shooting, though, goes back to 2021, when he gunned down victim Flavio Endres, claiming he had hit his wife.
Nery said at the time: “The guy harassed my wife, and she went to confront him immediately.
“But he punched Alda in the face and she was knocked out cold with a cut mouth.
“Then, when I saw her like that, I went after the guy.
“Outside, we got into a fistfight and I shot him.
“There were two shots, everyone grabbed him. He is stable and has been transferred to Rio Branco.”
Colonel Romulo Modesto, Inspector-General of the Military Police, explained: “It was notorious that there was a situation involving the Military Police officer in a nightclub in the municipality of Epitaciolandia, and this took on a national scale.”
The decision to kick him out of the force also relates to an incident from November 2017 in which Nery mowed down a 13-year-old in a hail of bullets.
In that incident, victim Fernando de Jesus and two men allegedly went to rob Nery’s home in Rio Branco.
But when they noticed a police car arriving, the two adults fled over a wall leaving Fernando behind.
The teen was shot by Nery at least six times.
He and his colleague Italo Cordeiro are accused of then tampering with the crime scene to make it seem as if they had acted in self-defence.
Nery’s lawyer, Matheus Moura, says he will appeal his client’s dismissal, which he described as “illegal”.
Nery is formally under arrest by the BOPE (police tactical unit).
The policeman earlier said of the throuple’s Instagram account: “The purpose of the page was not to show off, but to show that other forms of love are possible.”
Wife Alda told local media at the time: “Our dream is not to get married, our dream is to live together for as long as possible.”
