A tragic incident unfolded in Sao Lourenco da Mata, Brazil, where the lifeless body of a four-year-old girl named Ester Izabelle was discovered inside a well on October 21. The young girl had gone missing while playing near her home in the Pixete neighborhood the day before. Authorities suspect that Ester was abducted by a man while she was playing with her seven-year-old brother on a nearby football pitch.
Ester’s body was found submerged in the well, showing signs of physical abuse and being partially undressed. Her uncle made the grim discovery, revealing that she was found upside down in the well with visible injuries, including to her head. Additionally, there were indications of a possible sexual assault, as evidenced by the presence of a condom and a chocolate milk wrapper near her body.
A search operation was initiated following Ester’s disappearance, leading to the tragic discovery. The well, measuring about 3.7 meters in depth and covered with a concrete slab, served as the grim resting place for the young girl. Two men residing in the house adjacent to the well were brought in for questioning by the police. The residence, rented for approximately six months according to family members and investigators, became a focal point of the ongoing investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the child’s death.
Ester’s uncle, identified as Nazario, recounted the harrowing moment of finding his niece in such a distressing state, describing it as the worst experience of his life. The authorities are diligently working to unravel the details of the tragic event and bring justice to Ester Izabelle.
