A LIFESTYLE blogger has died after allegedly being thrown from a 10th-floor balcony by her husband.
Maria Katiane Gomes da Silva, 25, is believed to have been killed by her 40-year-old husband, Alex Leandro Bispo dos Santos, at their apartment in São Paulo, Brazil.
The incident reportedly followed a heated argument between the couple.
Emergency services arrived to find Bispo dos Santos cradling his wife’s body on the ground floor of the building.
He later claimed she had taken her own life.
However, the police say CCTV footage contradicts this version of events.
Investigators state that the footage shows a series of physical assaults in the minutes leading up to Gomes da Silva’s death.
The suspect is allegedly seen hitting his wife in the car park.
The aggressive behaviour then continues inside the lift, where he appears to grab her by the neck.
Bispo dos Santos can reportedly be seen dragging his wife from the lift as she desperately clings to the door.
About a minute later, he returns to the lift by himself and collapses to the floor with his head in his hands.
Moments later, Gomes da Silva fell to her death.
Nine days after the incident, he was arrested on suspicion of femicide.
Originally from Ceará state, Maria had moved to São Paulo in search of new opportunities.
She built a following online, creating makeup, travel and wellness content.
She is survived by a daughter from a previous relationship.
This terrible news comes after another popular influencer was killed in a horror high-speed crash in Brazil.
Aline Cristina Dalmolin, 41, was a passenger in a Porsche Macan when it crashed into a pole in Balneário Camboriú.
The force of the crash severed one of her arms and caused her to sustain serious head injuries.
Dalmolin tragically died as she was being rushed to hospital.
She suffered several cardiac arrests as paramedics were unable to save her.
The 57-year-old accused driver walked away from the scene unscathed.
The cops alleged he fled on foot before investigators later found him in a nearby area, in a drunken state.
The man was arrested and charged with alleged manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol.
