Bruna Fonseca 'had dreams... a whole life ahead of her,' say family as ex-boyfriend gets life for murder

Family of murdered Brazilian woman Bruna Fonseca speak of love, loss and justice as former partner receives life sentence

The Brazilian family of the 28-year-old woman whose former boyfriend was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder today were not driven by hate but by love and the search for justice for the irreparable harm caused by the murder of Bruna Fonseca and the deep loss for those left behind.

Izabel Fonseca, Bruna’s sister, spoke for the family on Friday as 32-year-old Miller Pacheco was given the mandatory life sentence by Ms Justice Siobhán Lankford, 10 days after the trial began at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork.
