I didn’t realise my uncle was dead. It’s absurd what people are saying. I’m not that person people are talking about; I’m not that monster,” Metro quoted De Souza telling the Brazilian TV programme Fantastico.

De Souza said that she only realised that her uncle was dead when an ambulance worker confirmed it after being called to ass. She further said that she clearly doesn’t remember the incident, adding, “I don’t know if it was the effect of the pills I had taken that day and I took from time to time. As I’m undergoing treatment, I was taking a sleeping pill called Zolpidem and took more than I should have.” Her son Lucas Nunes backed her claims, saying that she has been experiencing disorders. She claimed that her uncle ‘wanted’ the loan and that she ‘didn’t need the money’. “We always lived without my uncle having any income. My family always helped him. He only did odd jobs here and there but didn’t have any fixed income,” UNILAD quoted De Souza as saying. De Souza added that her uncle was “independent” and “did what he wanted”. She continued, “He wasn’t a wheelchair user and I wasn’t his carer as people have said. I was never his carer.” Catch every big hit, every wicket with Crick-it, a one stop destination for Live Scores, Match Stats, Quizzes, Polls & much more.
