A five-year-old girl was found dead in a cardboard box as her stepfather confessed to raping and strangling her to death.

The body of Maria Clara Calixto Nascimento was found on a plot of land near her home in Hortolandia on December 18.

According to the Civil Police, her stepfather Cassio Martins Camilo has confessed to raping and strangling the child after he was arrested.

Her body showed signs of strangulation as well as indications of sexual abuse.

According to the chief delegate of Hortolândia, João Jorge Ferreira da Silva, experts collected DNA on the girls body that identified Camilo as the perpetrator.

Camilo was reportedly also convicted of rape in 2018, with the alleged victim his stepdaughter from his previous marriage.

According to Maria Clara's grandmother, Camilo had been in a relationship with her daughter for just over a year.

Cássio Martins Camilo was sentenced to 32 years, 10 months, and 10 days of imprisonment in a maximum-security regime. The verdict was handed down by the Hortolândia Court of Jury (Tribunal do Júri de Hortolândia) in São Paulo, Brazil. [1, 2, 3]

Case Details and Charges
Camilo was convicted of the brutal 2020 murder and sexual assault of his 5-year-old stepdaughter, Maria Clara Calixto Nascimento, in Hortolândia. His sentencing encompassed multiple criminal charges, including: [1, 2]
  • Statutory rape (Estupro de vulnerável)
  • Qualified homicide via asphyxiation and cruel means
  • Femicide
  • Concealment of a corpse (Ocultação de cadáver) [1]

Background of the Crime
The victim went missing on December 17, 2020, and her body was later discovered packaged inside a box in a nearby vacant lot. Camilo confessed to the murder upon his arrest but claimed he acted out of a desire for revenge against the child's mother. [1, 2, 3]

Due to massive public outrage and multiple local protests surrounding the case, Camilo did not attend his popular jury trial in person; he participated via video link from a prison facility in Sorocaba where he remains incarcerated. Court records also show that Camilo had a prior 18-year prison sentence for a separate violent crime committed in Monte Mor. [1, 2]
