The media recently reported on the death of an Israeli woman named Alma Buadana in Rio de Janeiro on May 7. Alma had arrived in Brazil over three months ago and was walking with her companion near Mount Corcovado when the tragic incident occurred. Her companion claimed that they were approached by a motorcyclist who they thought was a robber, leading Alma to fall from a 15-meter height and lose her life.
However, the police have pointed out inconsistencies in the companion’s testimony. He mentioned both a motorcyclist and someone in a red car during interrogations, raising suspicions among homicide detectives. The companion stated that he had only recently met Alma at a hostel in Copacabana, further complicating the investigation.
Authorities determined that Alma had been in Brazil for three months, initially living in Salvador before arriving in Rio de Janeiro just ten days before her death. The Israeli Foreign Ministry offered their condolences and assistance in repatriating Alma’s body to Israel for burial.
In light of this tragic incident, the investigation continues to uncover the truth behind Alma Buadana’s untimely death, with suspicions surrounding her companion and the events leading up to her fatal fall in Rio de Janeiro.
