Student Alana Anísio Rosa, 20, spoke publicly for the first time about the femicide attempt she suffered in February in São Gonçalo. In a video posted by her mother on social media, she demands justice and calls for a rally at the first hearing on April 15. The attacker, Luiz Felipe Sampaio, invaded her home after romantic rejection.
Alana Anísio Rosa, a 20-year-old student, broke her silence on Sunday, April 5, in a video posted on her mother Jaderluce Anísio de Oliveira's social media. She recounted the attack at her home in the Galo Branco neighborhood of São Gonçalo, in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region.
"Like most violence victims, we have to give up our privacy and our moment after suffering something so brutal to demand justice," Alana said. The young woman emphasized women's insecurity and called on the public for a rally on April 15 at 2 p.m. at the Fórum de Alcântara for the first hearing in the case against Luiz Felipe Sampaio, 22, arrested at the scene.
The case began when Luiz Felipe met Alana on Instagram and started stalking her after seeing her at the gym. He sent five bouquets of flowers and chocolates to her home, identifying himself in the last one to ask her out in December. Guided by her parents, she rejected him politely, focused on her medical school studies.
On February 5, he tried to approach but was scared off by the family dog. The next day, he invaded the house and stabbed Alana more than 15 times. She was found by her mother and underwent five-hour surgery, emerging from a 15-day coma and showing progressive improvement.
