In Brazil, a woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her husband and locking his corpse up in a freezer. Claudia Tavares Hoeckler, 40, is alleged to have murdered her husband Valdemir Hoeckler who she claims abused her for years.
The 52-year-old's body was found in their home freezer in Lacerdopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil after Hoeckler reportedly turned herself in at a police station on November 21, 2022.
According to legal documents, after her husband’s death, she tried going on the run for a week before reporting to police that it happened earlier this month on November 13.
What is interesting is Hoeckler arrived at the police station with several lawyers. Local media report that she told police she had suffered years of physical, sexual, and mental abuse from her husband during their 23 years together.
Police formally arrested Hoeckler and she gave a statement. Investigators have declared the killing as a murder case and say the victim was killed by a blow to the back of his head.
Hoeckler has been placed under temporary arrest, which can last up to 30 days, while the investigation is carried out.
Her husband's disappearance was noticed by colleagues and family on November 14 when he failed to show up for work, but it was another five days before his body was discovered. Hoeckler reportedly consented to the search but then disappeared until she turned herself in.
The suspect who also had bruises and signs of violence in her body told police her husband had frequently threatened to kill her. She is quoted saying: "He wouldn't let me do anything, I just didn't have a life of my own. I couldn't go out with friends. I was going to the salon to get my hair done and I had to leave with wet hair because he was bugging me for taking so long. I had to race against time, my life has always been under pressure."
Thorough investigation is ongoing for further criminal processes.
