Um crime chocante abalou os moradores dos Jardins, em São Paulo. Carlos Alberto Felice, um idoso de 77 anos, foi encontrado morto sob um tapete em sua própria garagem, com os pés e mãos amarrados, após ser torturado de forma brutal.
Localizada no Jardim Europa, área nobre da zona oeste paulistana, a residência da vítima foi recentemente vendida por pelo menos R$ 3,5 milhões, conforme documentos da Polícia Civil, sem apresentar sinais de arrombamento.
Segundo uma fonte ligada ao caso, Carlos teria sido submetido a agressões físicas com o objetivo de revelar a localização de objetos de valor guardados em sua casa. A investigação aponta para um latrocínio, roubo seguido de morte, onde a vítima foi brutalmente agredida e posteriormente assassinada, possivelmente com golpes de um pedaço de pau.
O Departamento Estadual de Investigações Criminais (Deic) assumiu o caso na última quarta-feira (17/7) e está empenhado em desvendar esse crime hediondo.
“A investigação é um latrocínio [roubo com morte] consumado em que a vítima acabou sendo morta de maneira cruel, provavelmente por golpes desferidos com um pedaço de pau, após sofrer agressões físicas”, afirmou à reportagem, na manhã desta quinta-feira (18/7).

As per information gathered by Metrópoles, the police are still looking for possible individuals involved in the torture followed by the death of the elderly man. Similarly, they are also investigating the motives behind the crime, as well as alleged stolen items and money.
Victim’s Car Disappears
As reported by Metrópoles, Carlos Alberto Felice’s car went missing from the elderly man’s garage five days before he was found dead.
A neighborhood watchman testified to the police that he had seen the victim leaving and returning with the Hyundai I30, which was kept in the garage, on the last Thursday (11/7).
On that same day and the following one, surveillance cameras captured a motorcycle, ridden by the same suspect, circling in front of the property. Carlos’ vehicle was not seen on the premises since then.
Metrópoles discovered that an alert was issued to the police system with the car’s license plates for locating the vehicle. City surveillance cameras are also being used, and if the Hyundai is spotted, an alert will immediately be sent to the authorities.
Records from the Civil Police indicate that an acquaintance of the victim, who remained unnamed, stated that Carlos had sold the residence where he was found dead for R$ 3.5 million. It was believed that this sum, in cash, was inside the house. The police are investigating this information but have not found any cash yet.
The case was initially classified as a homicide but was later changed to a robbery with murder, known as “latrocínio” in Portuguese.
Carlos Alberto had no children and had been a widower for three years.
