During A Kidnapping In Gaspar, In The Valley Of Itajai, 34-Year-Old Victim Wrote Desperate Message On Piece Of Toilet Paper Inside Convenience Bathroom, Which Allowed The Police To Locate And Arrest The Suspect
A 34-year-old woman experienced moments of terror after being held in kidnapping by her partner in Gaspar (SC). The victim took advantage of a brief outing with the man on Friday night (3) to try to escape the situation. She reported that the aggressor accompanied her to a convenience store, where he claimed he would buy cigarettes. In the bathroom, in a moment of desperation, she wrote a note on a piece of toilet paper, asking for help and leaving her address.
The note was found only the next day, Saturday (4), by an employee of the establishment, who immediately contacted the Military Police. On the paper, it was written: “I’m in a kidnapping, 190”. According to information released by G1, the alert led the officers to the house where the woman was held.
Quick Action From Police And Arrest Of The Aggressor
The police arrived at the address around 10:30 AM and found the man, 29 years old, visibly nervous and refusing to open the door. The team had to force entry to rescue the victim, who was in shock, with injuries to her neck, face, and breasts.

The aggressor was caught in the act and taken to the police station. According to the police, he has 44 police reports against him, including previous records of domestic violence and violations of protective measures.
Case Reignites Debate On Violence Against Women
The incident reignites concern over domestic violence in Brazil, particularly in Santa Catarina, a state that ranks among those with the highest occurrences of this type. Experts emphasize that cases like this highlight the importance of reporting channels and swift responses from authorities.
The victim stated that the man even threatened to kill her, saying that “no one would find out.” The note was, therefore, crucial in saving her life.
