A paedophile who dragged a 12-year-old girl in a suitcase to his home before handcuffing her to the bed and telling her she was his ‘s-x slave’ has been jailed for 45 years.Â
Horrifying footage shows Daniel Moraes Bittar, 43, struggling to pull the suitcase up two flights of stairs at his home in Luziania, Brazil on June 28 last year.
THE KIDNAP
Bittar kidnapped the child from outside her school with the help of his 22-year-old girlfriend and accomplice Gesielly de Souza Vieira.Â
The girl was bundled into a car and de Souza Vieira held a chloroform-soaked cloth to her face while Bittar threatened her with a knife.
Her legs were then cuffed and she was zipped up inside a suitcase, which was placed in the boot as they drove to a woodland area to dump her mobile phone.Â
The 43-year-old, who worked as a civil servant, was only caught when police were alerted to the horrifying CCTV footage and found the victim half-naked and handcuffed to his bed. Â
She had suffered bruises and chemical burns, and medical examinations conducted after she was rescued confirmed she had been sexually assaulted.
According to the police, s-xual objects, stun guns, cameras and pornographic materials were found at the scene of the horrific assault in June last year.Â
A petrol canister was also found leading the police to believe he may have planned to burn the girl’s body after raping her.
COURT SENTENCING
Bittar who was seen in a video whimpering while being questioned by cops, has now been jailed for 45 years and nine months.
De Souza Vieira was also sentenced to 29 years and two months in prison for her part in the horrific crime.
Both have also been ordered to pay £11,400 in compensation to the victim, who has not been named.
