A mother killed her boyfriend after catching him raping her daughter and was cleared of murder charges.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).

The claims involve a mother who allegedly killed her boyfriend after catching him raping her daughter and was later cleared of murder charges. Evidence supports the occurrence of the incident in India, where the mother cut off her boyfriend's genitals after catching him attempting to rape her daughter. However, the legal status of the mother in India remains unclear. In a separate case in Brazil, Erica Pereira da Silveira was acquitted of murder charges for killing her partner, Everton, after reportedly catching him sexually assaulting her daughter. This acquittal was confirmed by a jury decision in Belo Horizonte on March 24, 2026. The evidence supports the claim of acquittal in Brazil but does not confirm the same for the incident in India.
