DOMINGOS MAURICIO On 2 September 2005 a group of police officers went to the house of Domingos Maurcio. They reportedly entered and searched the house without a warrant, claiming that Domingos Maurcio was hiding weapons. Although they found no arms, they arrested him. He was taken to a police unit. On the night of September 4, his family received a call from the police station informing them that Domingos Maurcio had died. The family reported that they found his naked body on the floor of the cell, with cuts all over and covered in blood. The police reportedly claimed that he had died of tuberculosis. However, an autopsy revealed that he had died from traumatic shock from a blow from a heavy object. Despite this revelation, the police commander of the division refused to retract the police version of events. According to reports, the commander general of the police nevertheless paid certain expenses, including paying for a coffin, two 25kg bags of rice, beans and 20 liters of oil, in return for the family’s “silence”.
