A mum has been shot dead on a secluded road by her ex-partner as she celebrated her 32nd birthday.
The body of Michele Bernardes - who has been survived by a 12-year-old daughter - was found after she was shot by her former boyfriend.
While it still remains unclear as to what the woman was doing on the road - which leads to the monument Christ the Redeemer of Pouso Alegre in the municipality of Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais State, Brazil - the victim was found by Brazilian police with an injury to the head.
