Clarinha Glock, RRU-Brazil


Sergipe—The murder of Edmilson de Jesus, known on the radio as “Edmilson dos Cachinhos,” on October 28, 2012 was not connected to his professional activities, according to Deputy Viviane Jardim, head of the Homicide Division of the Itabaiana Regional Department in Sergipe, who investigated the crime.

At a press conference on February 5, 2013 she said that the investigation led to the detention of suspect José Jean do Carmo Mota. “The victim sporadically used social networks and the telephone to arrange get-togethers. The day of the crime at around 6:30 p.m. the victim sought to make contact with the perpetrator but the latter did not answer the call and he tried again later. After agreeing to the meeting José Jean do Carmo Mota went to the radio station, where the crime occurred,” said Jardim. “After a discussion about a non-payment by the victim the accused killed him,” she explained.
