The haunting footage later shows the 32-year-old university biology lecturer bringing his wife's lifeless body up in the elevator and cleaning traces of blood off the walls, prosecutors say.

Manvailer, who is in custody awaiting trial, claims his wife jumped to end her life after an argument - but forensic experts on Thursday concluded she died from strangulation. 

The 29-year-old lawyer's bloody and broken corpse was found inside the couple's apartment in Guarapuava, south Brazil, on July 22. 

Forensic experts suggest Ms Spitzner met a violent end and was choked to death while desperately trying to defend herself.  

The imprints of a pair of hands were on her throat, and the hyoid bone, at the front of the neck, was fractured.

The lawyer also suffered multiple fractures to the rest of her body consistent with a 40ft fall onto concrete paving.

According to the report, there was no 'evidence of any chemical reactions' such as adrenalin and cortisol traces in her body that would indicate fear and an awareness of plummeting to the ground.

She was already dead by the time she hit the ground, researchers said.

Tests also indicated significant blood alcohol levels in the victim's blood 'which suggests she was quite vulnerable', forensic experts said.

CCTV images captured in an underground car park and lift reveals she repeatedly tried to get away. 

'Our investigation proves that the victim was killed inside the apartment by asphyxiation and her body was thrown over the balcony of the apartment,' said criminal prosecutor Dunia Rampazzo.

'We believe the accused then took the elevator to the ground floor and collected Tatiane's body, taking it back up to the apartment in the elevator.'

'We suspect that before she was killed, Luis subjected his wife to a prolonged period of violent physical aggression. 

'This was not a suicide, but femicide (the killing of a woman by a man on account of her gender). The aggressor then attempted to escape by car.'

Residents in the building, who called police after hearing a woman screaming for help, reported seeing a man picking up the victim's body from the pavement. One witness recounted hearing him shout 'my love, wake up.'

Police claimed Manvailer admitted bringing the body up in the elevator to the flat. Security images show him then fleeing the scene in a car.

He was arrested on suspicion of murder some 185miles from the city after crashing on a motorway and claimed he fled because he was 'too disturbed' by 'images of his wife jumping' to stay. 

The death caused national outrage and provoked a country-wide debate on domestic abuse and the vulnerability of women in a country where 1,133 were victims of femicide in 2017. 

According to the Brazilian Forum on Public Security, last year, an average of 530 women reported suffering domestic violence per day.

Forensic experts explained the criminal investigation took 'longer than the 30 days expected because it is a complicated case'. 

Three simulations examining the dynamics of the lawyer's fall were carried out from the fourth floor flat where the couple lived.

The operation used a doll of the same weight and height of the victim which was dropped from different angles testing various possibilities of how the fall occurred.

A distressing record of the scenes leading up to the lawyer's death gives a graphic insight into the domestic abuse she suffered.

Close friends of the victim claim she revealed in a series of texts, sent many months prior to her death, that she was 'afraid' of her husband who she accused of 'mistreating' her, and she wanted a divorce.

However, the defence lawyer for the husband argued the couple had a 'happy' relationship.

According to reports, the couple were on a night out when they started arguing over images of a woman found on Manvailer's phone.

Security cameras in the city centre condominium where they lived, documented a blow by blow account of the incident that starts with a car pulling up outside the building.

Images show the Jiu-jitsu martial arts specialist apparently slapping his wife several times across the face in the vehicle as she tries to fight him off.

The sickening violence continues in the underground car park with the victim being physically assaulted, kicked, throttled, chased across an underground car park and into the elevator where she is brutally battered, overpowered and restrained as she desperately tries to get away.

Some 15 minutes of alleged brutality inside the couple's apartment was not caught on camera.

Manvailer has been charged with murder (including the qualifiers under Brazilian law of femicide, cruelty, clumsy motive and hindering the victim's defence to further explain what happened), along with incarceration of the victim and procedural fraud. Continue reading

A group of prisoners documented the medical experimentations that German doctors were performing on them.

This photo was taken secretly inside the Ravensbrück concentration camp. A group of prisoners documented the medical experimentations that German doctors were performing on them. Joanna Szydłowska traded her bread to another prisoner for a camera. She was one of 74 Polish women subjected to cruel experiments, including unnecessary surgeries.  Doctors cut open some women's legs and intentionally infected them to try to simulate battlefield wounds. Some of the women were given no medication when they became desperately ill. Ravensbrück was liberated on this day in 1945 after most prisoners had been evacuated from the camp. Some of the experimentation victims testified at trials after the war. The photos they took were part of the evidence. Continue reading  #OTD #OnThisDayinHistory #Holocaust

In the fall of 1944, ten-year-old Thomas Buergenthal found himself all alone in Auschwitz, destined for the gas chamber

In the fall of 1944, ten-year-old Thomas Buergenthal found himself all alone in Auschwitz, destined for the gas chamber. Thomas had already survived the Kielce ghetto and a forced labor camp by the time German authorities deported him and his parents to Auschwitz in August 1944. Typically, children were taken on arrival and murdered in the gas chambers, but, because there was no selection when Thomas and his family arrived there, he managed to survive. His mother was taken to the women's section of the camp, but Thomas and his father remained together. However, Thomas remained in grave danger. The SS guards regularly selected prisoners to be murdered in the gas chambers and as a child Thomas stood out. While he had survived a number of selections by hiding, this time, Thomas had been caught. "They saw me as a child, and they motioned me to go one way, and my father go the other way," Thomas remembered. "And that's the last I saw of ... my father." Thomas and...

In April 1981, the body of a young white woman was found in a ditch on Greenlee Road in Newton Township, Ohio

In April 1981, the body of a young white woman was found in a ditch on Greenlee Road in Newton Township, Ohio. She was wearing a buckskin poncho, so investigators called her the "Buckskin Girl." That same day, her body was examined. It was found that she had suffered serious injuries to her head and neck before being strangled to death about 48 hours before her body was found. Despite many years of hard work by investigators, the identity of the Buckskin Girl remained unknown for over 30 years. On April 9, 2018, the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory announced that they had identified the woman as 21-year-old Marcia Lenore King from Little Rock, Arkansas. Marcia had last been seen by her family in 1980. Although she wasn’t officially reported missing, her family had kept searching for her. The identification was made possible by detailed DNA testing. Sadly, the person who caused her death has still not been found. Continue reading

After escaping the Lwów ghetto, Julie, her sister, Tola, and their family hid from the Nazis in a forest hideout for several months. Over time, the girls’ crying put the Jewish family at risk. Their grandfather made the painful decision to place two-year-old Julie and baby Tola with a friend. Soon after they were removed, the Germans discovered the hiding place in the woods and murdered everyone inside. Julie’s grandfather, who was away visiting the girls, was the only survivor.

“In Auschwitz, I never cried, and people around me never cried.”

“In Auschwitz, I never cried, and people around me never cried.” Irene Weiss was just a teenager when she learned to turn off her feelings in order to survive. When a Nazi officer selected Irene to perform forced labor at Auschwitz-Birkenau, it gave her a chance to survive that was denied to her mother and younger siblings, who were murdered upon arrival. She was assigned to a unit responsible for sorting through the stolen personal belongings of Jews. The storage barracks where she worked were next to one of Auschwitz's gas chambers. Irene often saw the faces of those unknowingly headed toward their deaths. Sometimes they would stop and talk to her. Other times, she heard their screams. “When we worked night shifts … this place was close enough to the train platform that you could hear in the night the whistle of the train and then you would hear the humming noise of large crowds. You could hear people in the distance. Within a few minutes or so the large column of young women, mo...
