The murder of Isabella de Oliveira Nardoni was one of the most infamous filicide cases in Brazil. On the night of 29 March 2008, the five-year-old girl Isabella died from severe injuries after being thrown out of the sixth floor of the building where her father Alexandre Alves Nardoni, stepmother Anna Carolina Trotta Peixoto Jatobá, and newborn half-siblings lived in North São Paulo. Investigations concluded that the girl had been physically abused by her father and stepmother and both were convicted for intentional homicide.
Brazilian media has closely followed the case, offering continuous updates.[1][2] A survey suggested that more than 98% of Brazilians are aware of her death[3]—the highest percentage in the history of Brazilian media coverage research.
