A woman was taken to the police station, this Tuesday afternoon (16), after taking a dead body in a wheelchair to try to take out a loan of R$17,000 (around USD$3,215) at a bank branch in Bangu, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

Bank employees were suspicious of the behavior of the woman, identified as Érika d.S.V.N., and called the police. In the video, Érika tries to get the corpse to sign a document - "Sign so you don't give me any more headaches." When employees attempted to point out that the man looked pale, Érika responded "But that's just how he is."

Samu went to the scene and found that the man, identified as Paulo R.B., aged 68, had been dead for a few hours. The police are investigating exactly when and how he died.

At both the bank, and at the police station, Érika claimed that the dead body was that of her frail uncle, whom she looked after. Whether Paulo was actually related to Érika remains unconfirmed.
