Brandao, said to have a history of domestic violence against Marcela and an ex-partner, was arrested last Friday after a post-mortem said his alleged victim’s injuries were inconsistent with a fall.
The medical team at the hospital had called police who began their investigating Brandao. 
Speaking in an interview with TV Anhanguera, the investigator said: ‘The hospital contacted the police station informing them that there were multiple injuries, which is not consistent with a fall. 
‘She suffered head trauma on both sides of her head and at the base of her skull, fractured her collarbone, eight ribs and had several bruises on her body.’
