The Sobradinho Jury Court sentenced Filipe Ferreira dos Santos to 10 years, 11 months, and eight days in closed regime for qualified attempted homicide against his neighbor. The crime took place in the early morning of December 25, 2024, after the victim asked him to lower the music volume. The sentence accounts for the futile motive and the use of a resource that hindered the victim's defense.
In the early morning of December 25, 2024, in Sobradinho, Federal District, Filipe Ferreira dos Santos stabbed his neighbor after she complained about the high volume of his music. The two lived in a lot with several small apartments, and the accused had resided there for about a month, with a habit of playing music loudly.
According to the indictment, the aggressor committed qualified attempted homicide due to the futile motive and the use of a resource that hindered the victim's defense. The Sobradinho Jury Court sentenced him to 10 years, 11 months, and eight days in initial closed regime.
The presiding judge disapproved of the defendant's conduct, noting that he is a repeat offender in crimes of various natures, with five prior convictions for theft, robbery, bodily injury, and disobedience. For this reason, preventive detention was maintained, and he will not be able to appeal at liberty.
Filipe confessed to the crime in a statement to the Federal District Civil Police, which led to a reduction in the sentence in the final ruling. His preventive arrest was ordered in January 2025, he was temporarily released, but rearrested on May 10 and has remained in closed regime since then.
The decision is appealable, but the convicted man must remain in the prison system until the final instances.
