The first trial of the case took place in April 2015 and only Thiago Henrique Ribeiro, 21 years old, was convicted of theft, murder and concealment of corpse. Rafael Diogo, the tortoise, Jefferson dos Santos Souza, and a third party involved in the crime, were convicted this afternoon by the second crime Chamber of TJ-MS. The three defendants returned to trial after the MEP (state Public Ministries) and lawyers Oton Nasser and José Roberto Rosa entered with the request for appeal of Criminal Appeal, an attempt to reverse the acquittal of the accused. This time, the judges Ruy Celso Barbosa Florence, Luiz Gonzaga and José Ale Ahmad Netto, analyzed the case and decided, by two votes to one, for the conviction of the three judged.

Since the abduction, until the concealment of the body of Erlon, who after being hit by a head shot, fired by Thiago, was thrown into a cesspool. The weapon used in the crime, according to the police, belonged to Jefferson, who on Monday was sentenced to 23 years in prison, also under closed regime. The third involved, Luiz Shobha, would be responsible for altering the license plate of Erlon's car at the request of the assassins.

For the family is yet another sad reminder, they still try to recover, but perhaps the sense of justice minimizes the pain, "said the lawyer. Case-The police investigation pointed out that Thiago scored a meeting with Erlon at the roundabout of the Interlagos avenues and Gury Marques, in the district Doctor Albuquerque, on April 1, 2014. He went by the buyer of Volkwsagen Golf announced by the victim on the Internet, and convinced her to take the car to the house where the murder occurred, in São Jorge da Lagoa. At the residence, Erlon met Rafael, the tortoise, and a 17-year-old teenager. He was waiting for an opinion from the bandits who supposedly paid R $38000 for the vehicle. Thiago entered the house, borrowed a revolver from Jefferson and shot him in the back of the neck of the victim who didn't have time to react. Still alive, the businessman had his body buried in a 15-foot trench in the property yard. A few days later, neighbors felt the odor coming from the discovery and triggered the police.
