This is not the first time a mysterious attack on a bodybuilder occurred in Brazil. In April, female bodybuilder Fabiana Veras was found dead at her place of work in Assu, Brazil.
Veras, who worked at a clinic as a psychologist, was found by a co-worker around 6pm local time. She had been bound and gagged and had clear cuts on her hands and all over her body. The Sun reported that CCTV showed footage of a man entering the clinic around 5pm. He was wearing a face mask, glasses, gloves, and a covering on his head.
It was alleged that the bodybuilder knew the man that entered the store. That is not the case here to this point. The investigation continues as police search for the two perpetrators. There will be more details released on the incident moving forward.
