The São Paulo businessman Sérgio Nahas, 61 years old, became nationally known for the murder of his wife in September 2002, in the Higienópolis neighborhood, in the central region of São Paulo. The crime occurred inside the apartment where the couple lived after an argument that, according to investigations, was motivated by discoveries of infidelity and drug use by the businessman.
The police investigation concluded that Fernanda was killed with a gunshot to the chest and ruled out the possibility of suicide raised by the defense during the trial. The murder weapon belonged to Nahas and was not registered with the authorities.
