Two bodies are found dismembered in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador | Bahia

Two dismembered bodies with gunshot marks were found this Wednesday (24), in the municipality of Mata de São João, in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador.

According to information from the Civil Police, the victims are two young people: Andrei Conceição Correia, aged 26, and Vinícius Santos Lima, aged 18. They were found on Rua da Bandeira, in the Caboré neighborhood.

According to the Civil Police, the main line of investigation points to a dispute between rival criminal groups in that region.

According to information gathered by the TV Bahia production team, Andrei and Vinícius had been missing for around a week. Despite the advanced state of decomposition, family members recognized Andrei because he was wearing a green vest, which he occasionally wore to play football and was with him on the day of his disappearance. However, the information was not confirmed by the Civil Police.

The bodies of the young people were sent to the Legal Medical Institute (IML), where they must undergo an autopsy. Reports from the Technical Police Department (DPT) should help clarify the circumstances of the crime.

The authorship and motivation of the double homicide will be investigated by the 36th Territorial Police Station of Mata de São João.
