On the day of the alleged murder, the suspect even filed a missing person report to derail the investigation.

The former pro-combatant claimed his wife left town by bus to go to her mother's house in the nearby town of Campinas and disappeared along the way.

Police said the crime was motivated by jealousy but did not provide further details.
