The 31-year-old Cape Verdean will not be held responsible for Denise's murder but, as a dangerous patient, should be admitted to a clinic or hospital for the mentally ill.
THE CASE
Vany was arrested at Lisbon International Airport on August 18, 2022, when he was allegedly trying to leave Portugal where he was wanted for the death of Denise Rosa, 38, from Praia, with whom he lived in Barreiro, in the district of Setúbal.
Denise, mother of four children and who at the time of the events was 7 or 8 months pregnant, Denise was killed with several stab wounds, especially in the belly, and, shortly afterwards, Vany Vieira announced the crime on Facebook.
PARANOIA
According to the note from the Attorney General Vany Vieira underwent a psychiatric analysis which concluded that he acted moved by a feeling of paranoia which at that moment led him to construct a scenario in which the victim had betrayed him and that the child was not your son.
In addition, the note states, “the accused believed that the victim had poisoned him or wanted to poison him, being part, like the rest of humanity, of a criminal network that pursued him and wanted to kill him”.
