Global InformationGuaratuba child murders information
The Guaratuba child murders, also popularly known as the witches of Guaratuba or the Evandro case,[1][2] is a series of child disappearances that happened in the city of Guaratuba, Brazil, in 1992, some of which were later confirmed as being cases of kidnapping followed by murder.[3] It is one of the longest legal cases in Brazil, and in 2016 its official archive had 60 volumes with over twenty thousand pages.[4]
The case is now known for having involved multiple complex factors, such as a rivalry dispute between the military and civil police, alleged confessions under torture and kidnapping, as well as presence of political motivations to interfere in the legal case.[5]
