Who is Iracema Cavalcante?

 Iracema Cavalcante who could be in her 50s told The New York Times that, although her son had a rifle on him, he wasn’t a threat to anyone and that her son has grown to become the way he is because he had endured suffering and had a poor upbringing in a poor rural town in Brazil.

Although Ms. Cavalcante admitted that his son murdered his girlfriend and was wanted for killing a man in Brazil in 2017, she told the New York Times that, she feels its better her son dies sooner than to spend the rest of his life in prison rotting in there.

“If it’s to go to a place to suffer and die in that place, it’s better to die soon,” She told the New York Times. “You don’t have to suffer so much.”

It’s also been established that  Iracema Cavalcante has a daughter too called Eleni Cavalcante.
