The first occurred a few days after the start of his work, when Henry, upon waking up, called for his mother. Jairinho reportedly called the boy “spoiled” before taking him to the couple’s room for a chat. Henry remained in the room for about half an hour and left “pouting”, without explaining what had happened. Mais late, in the condominium’s playroom, the boy complained of pain in his knee and showed no interest in playing.

The second episode, considered crucial by the witness, happened days later, while Monique was at the beauty salon. Jairinho arrived at the apartment at an unusual time and called Henry to the couple’s room, closing the door.
