Valter de Vargas Aita was stabbed multiple times while he slept during the attack.
Former bodybuilding champion Valter de Vargas Aita died after being stabbed multiple times by his wife while he slept in Chapeco, a Brazilian town in Santa Catarina state. The incident occurred last month but new details have been shared about the attack.
Police shared multiple details about the attack, which happened on September 7. Andreia Carvalho Aita jumped her husband while he was sleeping and stabbed him in his neck, head, arms, legs, and torso. Aita attempted to get away via the stairwell but collapsed.
“She believed that her partner had been having sexual relationships with other people for several months before the crime and, on more than one occasion, made clear her desire to kill him because of this.”
Carvalho Aita believed that her husband was having relations with other women and shared her displeasure about it. Police believe that she also expressed desire to hurt him.
Police Discovered Pattern of Obsession Before Attack
Carvalho Aita admitted to stabbing Valter Aita multiple times but claimed self-defense and said that he had the knife in his hand initially. She also told police that they were arguing about religious rituals and it stemmed from her suspicions dating back to March.
There was a long investigation following this brutal attack. Police and detectives believe they discovered a long pattern of obsession coming from the side of the wife.
Carvalho Aita was apparently drilling holes in their apartment walls to spy on her husband. She also took photos of him while he was sleeping and sent multiple threatening messages to him, including knife emojis at the end.
Officers also recovered multiple recordings warning Valter Aita that he would “pay” for what he has done. Also, there was a recording that specifically mentioned a threat of being stabbed.
The couple got married back in 2021 and were described as quiet by neighbors but police discovered that this was not Carvalho Aita’s first crime. She is allegedly wanted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul for an attempted robbery with violence, where he can serve a 15-year sentence.
Valter Aita became a successful bodybuilder after a life of fitness training. He represented Brazil in many competitions on the international scene. This includes a second-place finish at the World Fitness Federation. He won multiple titles during his career and also worked as a personal trainer where he was able to help others create the best versions of themselves.
