Floriano and her children moved into a new house on the west side of São Paulo on Aug. 15 and had the refrigerator wrapped with a sheet and ribbons, according to a mover who spoke to police.

She left the house between last Friday and Saturday morning when her friend’s mother visited the house and said she was going to look for her former husband, with whom Silva was staying.

For reasons unknown, the woman believed that Floriano had kept drugs or a weapon in the refrigerator and dug up Silva’s dismembered body.

Silva was Floriano’s daughter from a previous relationship with a man who lives in the interior of São Paulo. She lived with her father and his family for an unknown period of time before rejoining her mother.

Floriano’s ex-boyfriend, whom she stabbed about three months ago, also took care of Alany, according to her sister, Aline Floriano.

‘He had a love for Alany, it was something inexplicable. You saw pictures of them together and thought they were father and daughter, you can’t,” Aline Floriano told Brazilian newspaper Band. “She said, from what I heard, it was a blow, and she did.”

She said that Silva often stayed at her house and always said that she would rather live with her and her children because her mother would beat her. On one occasion, Ruth Floriano slammed her daughter’s head against a wall.

“She spoke directly at the police station and the whole family heard that she wanted to kill him and the other children, finish the job and commit suicide,” said Aline Floriano.
