A court has sentenced a councilwoman who tied up her ex-husband, assaulted him and doused him in acid to almost 11 years in jail.
A Rio de Janeiro court in Brazil sentenced Veronica Costa to 10 years and eight months, stipulating that her sentence must be served in a closed regime inside a prison.
This was following an appeal lodged by the Public Prosecutor's Office after she was sentenced to five years and 10 months in a semi-open regime at an earlier hearing.
