Fitness influencer Debora Michel’s corpse ‘is dumped outside her parents’ home by her husband after he kills her during an argument’

The body of a popular fitness influencer was dumped outside her parents’ home in Brazil after her husband killed her during a heated argument, reports say.

Debora Michels, 30, was found in the early hours of Friday, January 26, on a sidewalk in Montenegro, a city in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Police believe she was murdered by her husband of 10 years, who then callously dumped her lifeless body outside her parents’ home.

Michels, known as Deby, was found covered in a red blanket several meters from the house.

The suspect reportedly told police that the couple got into a heated argument that turned physical.

The husband, named Alexander Gunsch in Brazil, is said to have grabbed Deby around her neck before lifting her and throwing her against a wardrobe.

That’s when he told police that his bodybuilder wife started feeling sick and quickly lost consciousness, according to local reports.

He then took Deby to the hospital for medical attention, but after realizing she was dead, he threw her on the sidewalk in front of the house, according to local media.

Citing the Military Brigade (BM), the newspaper Correio Do Povo reports that camera footage was captured at the moment the suspect took Deby’s body out of his car and placed it on the sidewalk.

He has now been taken into custody by the police, whose request for an extension of the detention period was granted on Saturday evening.

Debora’s funeral took place on Saturday, January 27, before she was buried at the Montenegro Municipal Cemetery around 11 a.m. the same day.

Her outraged and heartbroken brother Alex Michels told local media: ‘This situation is disgusting. What our family wants is justice. You can’t let anyone go unpunished.’

He added that Deby had wanted to leave Gunsch before the tragedy.

“The family has a lot of strength to get through this situation,” Alex Michels said, according to Correio Do Povo.

“The community is terrified. The day before the crime, he and my father were talking about breaking up. Everything seemed fine until my parents woke up and found their daughter dead in front of the house,” he said.

And her good friend Deise Chemelo said: ‘Debora was a magnetic person. She lit up every place she went; she only had friends and did only good.

‘A fighter, an entrepreneur, there is no explanation for what happened. She didn’t deserve it. We don’t understand it.’

According to Cleusa Spinato, a women’s aid advocate at a specialized police station, Gunsch surrendered and confessed to the crime when police visited his address on Saturday.

Ms. Spinato said police were treating the case as a femicide and that Gunsch was the main suspect in his wife’s death.
