Brazilian state prosecutors have charged a German diplomat on suspicion of murdering his husband previous this month.
Uwe Herbert Hahn — who labored on the German consulate in Rio de Janeiro — used to be to begin with arrested after his 52-year-old Belgian husband used to be discovered useless on 5 August.
He used to be launched from police custody through a state courtroom on Friday, simply days ahead of prosecutors filed fees for “aggravated murder”.
Authorities say they’re investigating studies that the consul fled the rustic and returned to Germany on a flight on Sunday.
Brazil’s judiciary has now referred to as for Hahn to be added to Interpol’s record of fugitives.
According to prosecutors, the homicide used to be “committed with cruel means” and Hahn’s husband used to be “severely beaten, causing intense and unnecessary suffering”.
The sufferer used to be not able to react because of a mix of alcohol and anxiousness drugs, they added.
Hahn “nurtured an abject feeling of possession for the victim,” prosecutors say, claiming that the diplomat “subjugated his husband financially and psychologically” right through their 23 years of marriage.
“He did not accept that the victim tried to establish some level of independence … either economically or by establishing friendly relations with other people.”
Hahn stated his husband fell at their condominium within the rich Ipanema neighbourhood after struggling a unexpected sickness.
But police say the person’s frame had suffered more than one wounds in a “violent death” and located bloodstains within the couple’s condominium.
