The prisoner who is now the subject of a massive manhunt after escaping from a Pennsylvania prison last week had killed his ex-girlfriend in a brutal 2021 stabbing in front of her two young children, authorities say.
Video from the prison shows the inmate in the exercise yard climb between two walls before pushing through razor wire.
Cavalcante arrived, grabbed her by her hair, "threw her to the ground, and stabbed her 38 times in virtually every vital organ … causing her to bleed to death," the Chester County district attorney's office said in a Facebook post. Schuylkill Township police were dispatched to the home at roughly 4:17pm on the day of the killing, and found Brandão on the ground "with multiple stab wounds to the chest," the district attorney's office said.
Brandão's sister, Sarah, said the two were best friends, and that when she learned about Deborah's murder, her "world ended."Cavalcante and Deborah were both Brazilian and dated for about a year and a half, she said.Danelo Souza Cavalcante is now the subject of a massive manhunt after escaping from prison.
"This was a senseless tragedy that has impacted countless people due to the defendant's cold, calculated, and heinous actions," Ryan, who led Cavalcante's prosecution, said last month.
