The public prosecutor's office of Paraná indicted Celina Abagge, the mayor of Guaratuba's wife, and her daughter, Beatriz Cordeiro Abbagge, as the ones who requested the kidnapping and murder of Evandro, with the intent to use the corpse in a human sacrifice ritual.
The pai-de-santo Oswaldo Marcineiro, the painter Vicente de Paula Ferreira, and the artisan Davi dos Santos Soares were indicted for performing the ritual.
In 1999, the jury was invalidated, and the trial restarted in May 2011, in which Beatriz was deemed guilty and received a sentence of 21 years in prison.
[7][14] Projeto Humanos ("project humans" in English) is an audio documentary about the case, created by professor and journalist Ivan Mizanzuk.
