The Goiás Civil Police said bodybuilder Igor Porto had previously beaten his former girlfriend and his current girlfriend, Marcela de Sousa, who died at a hospital on Monday evening. De Sousa broke up with Porto and obtained a restraining order which she withdrew after the couple decided to give their relationship a second chance
'According to him, she convulsed and the injuries were caused by the fall,' Goiás Civil Police chief Bruna Coelho said. 'So, he gave her a bath and took her to the hospital, where she was immediately taken to surgery and then to the ICU.'
Coelho revealed that de Sousa had been a victim of domestic violence while the couple lived in Brasilia, the South American nation's capital.
He had been investigated for those incidents as well as the beating of his former girlfriend.
De Sousa obtained an order of protection from Prato after the couple separated and then withdrew it when they reconciled.
Coelho said Porto had been previously investigated for fighting a neighbor over their dog and a cash register attendant at a supermarket.
'He was very explosive and aggressive,' the police chief said.
Coelho added that neighbors regularly heard Porto fighting with de Sousa at their condominium.
'These are fights for no apparent reason, which further demonstrates his explosiveness and aggressiveness,' she said.

Porto appeared before a court judge Monday hours before de Sousa's death and remained in custody as he faces an attempted femicide charge.
Coelho filed a petition to transfer Porto's custody to pretrial detention.
'The defense of the investigated Igor Porto Galvão deeply regrets the death of Marcela Luise, and will continue to speak only in relation to the investigations,' Porto's lawyers, Thiago Ferreira and Gelicio de Morais said in a statement Tuesday.
'Regarding the decree of preventive detention of Mr. Igor, from the defense's point of view, the requirements of preventive detention are not present, that is, guaranteeing public order, guaranteeing criminal investigation or ensuring criminal enforcement.'
Porto defense said they are planning on asking the judge to release him because he is not considered a flight risk.
'Igor has a legal profession, he is a Nutritionist and Physical Educator, a fixed address, he is primary school, at no time is there anything in the process that interfered with the smooth running of the investigation,' the lawyers said. 'On the contrary, the Civil Police were at his residence out of hours in order to to carry out expertise, and he authorized it.'
