He was still being sought this afternoon.

The governor of Espírito Santo, Renato Casagrande (PSB), said that the security forces are committed to solving the case.

“With a feeling of regret and great sadness, I am closely following the investigation of the invasion of the Primo Bitti and Darwin Schools in Aracruz.

Later, Casagrande corrected the information about the second school’s name and said it was the Centro Educacional Praia de Coqueiral.
