Gislayne de Deus, determined to avenge her father Gilvado's murder, dedicated her life to catching his killer. She became a police officer and tracked down Raimundo Gomes after years of searching, leading to his arrest and conviction.
It was a lifelong quest for justice for GIslayne de Deus, who as a young girl decided she would do anything to catch the killer of her beloved father Gilvado.
And last week, just months after taking up the post, Gomes was arrested after she tracked him down to his hideaway in farmland on the outskirts of the city. When Gislayne, now 36, finally got to confront him back at the police station, she made sure he knew why he had been caught. "It's because of me that you are here," she told him. In a video she posted of the encounter, he appears shocked as she adds: "You are now going to pay.
She said her father's death devastated the close-knit family: "My dad was an honest and hard-working man. He encouraged us to study and spent time helping us with homework and times tables. He was always very close to us and caring. My sisters and I went through really difficult times after we lost him. What happened could easily have sent us on a different direction, but our mother always taught us to follow the right path.
