Farm that allegedly caused the death of a couple has an area equivalent to 167 football fields

The land on which the farming couple from Goiás was murdered has an area of ​​167.5 hectares, the equivalent of 167 football fields.

An audio obtained by Sheet revealed the suspects’ conversation with the couple minutes before the crime. One of them offers Jânio land in another region of Roraima to resolve the dispute, but the victim refuses to negotiate. At the end of the recording, which lasts almost seven minutes, it is possible to hear six shots fired at the farmers – he died on the same day, while she died seven days later.
