Three orthopedic doctors were murdered and one remains in a serious condition after a crime at a beach kiosk in Rio de Janeiro’s Barra da Tijuca neighborhood that took place around 1 a.m. (5 a.m. Lisbon time). According to two or three witnesses, the criminals got out of a car, fired more than twenty shots and fled without taking any material possessions.

Flávio Dino, Minister of Justice, has already ordered the crime to be investigated by the Federal Police, because it resembles an execution and because one of the victims, Diego Bomfim, 35 years old, is the brother of Congresswoman Sâmia Bomfim and brother- in-laws of Gláuber Braga, both PSOL deputies, the left-wing party to which Marielle Franco belonged, were executed in 2018.
“Given the hypothesis of a link with the actions of two federal parliamentarians, I have instructed the Federal Police to supervise the investigation into the execution of doctors in Rio. After these immediate first measures, we will analyze the case legally. My solidarity with Congresswoman Sâmia, Congresswoman Glauber and family,” the minister wrote on social media.
The victims, three from São Paulo and one from Bahia, were attending an orthopedics conference and staying in a hotel opposite the beach kiosk where they were attacked.
