Ex-husband accused of five-day captivity in Goiás, Brazil

In Goiás, Brazil, 24-year-old Emiliane Tamira was allegedly held captive for five days by her ex-husband, who drugged and restrained her in a rented house; she was found August 21 with injuries and said he kept her under the influence and only untied her briefly for meals. The suspect, Aylton Rodrigues, fled during police pursuit but was detained, and a 9mm pistol was seized. Police are investigating motives, including the possibility of forcing reconciliation; the couple had lived together for nearly six years and ended the relationship in December 2025.
