Three men arrested in Botucatu region for domestic violence and insult within 24 hours

In less than 24 hours, three men were arrested in the Botucatu region of São Paulo state for domestic violence and insult offenses. The first incident involved a 36-year-old man arrested on Friday night (10) in São Manuel after allegedly assaulting, insulting, and threatening to kill his 50-year-old partner. Police found him shouting at the victim through a window. He was reportedly intoxicated, denied the assault, and claimed the victim had grabbed a knife. The victim, however, told police he attacked her due to jealousy, repeatedly threatened to kill her, held her by the wrists and neck, threw her on the bed, and bit her face. She was taken to the hospital for treatment and a forensic examination. The man was arrested for intentional bodily injury, insult, and threat under the Maria da Penha Law.

A second arrest occurred Friday afternoon in Botucatu's Parque Marajoara, where a 24-year-old man was detained for assaulting his 22-year-old partner. The Municipal Guard responded to a call, and the victim reported being insulted and punched in the face, head, and arm, stating this was not the first time. The suspect admitted to the crime, citing being "disrespected." The victim sustained a cut on her lower left lip. The man's arrest was converted to pre-trial detention.

The third case involved a 44-year-old man arrested in central Botucatu on Friday afternoon for insulting his 36-year-old partner, with whom he is divorcing. The woman called the police after he became verbally aggressive while intoxicated. While police noted the man was agitated and required handcuffs, the victim stated she had not suffered physical abuse. She expressed a desire not to press charges, believing he would not harm her, and declined protective measures. This incident was registered as insult.
