Brazilian police arrested murder suspect Jorlan Lopes da Silva, 33, in Mulungu, Paraíba, after a 48‑hour manhunt, as investigators probe his alleged links to 16 killings committed over roughly three months.
The arrest on Sunday, 13 September, followed reports that Lopes da Silva had been evading police while disguised as a woman and carrying a two‑year‑old child. Police say investigators have gathered evidence linking him to 16 homicides since the end of May, while further deaths are being examined.
