A man was recently arrested by cops in connection with the murder of Christiane Louise. She voiced the character Mercy in the Brazilian voiceover for the video game Overwatch.
The accused is an economist named Pedro Paulo Goncalves Vasconcellos da Costa. Louise was reportedly murdered by Costa slashing her leg and neck. The actor was 49 years old at the time of her death.
Costa stayed with Louise as she supported him in an ongoing mental health crisis. Both of them were friends and met in 2017 in a psychiatric clinic. Costa reportedly intended to keep Christiane Louise’s belongings and inheritance, the former of which he had started moving into his mother’s home, who aided him.
Costa’s mother is also wanted on the same charges. Costa is now in custody and stated that he did everything in self-defense. Costa and his mother reportedly spent two days in the house with the actress’ body before hiding her.
Voice actor Mario Tupinamba confirmed the death of Louise last week on Instagram. Tributes started to pour in from fans and celebrities following the announcement of the actor’s death.
