In this video that begins the channel's series on Historical Crimes, we will learn about the case of Manoel da Mota Coqueiro and the issue of the death penalty in Brazil.
The story of Manuel da Motta Coqueiro, the last white man to die on the death penalty in Brazil. This case involved family strife, betrayal, murder, revenge, money, injustice and even Emperor Dom Pedro II. This crime occurred in the region of Macaé, in the interior of the province of Rio de Janeiro.
Manoel da Motta Coqueiro was born in February 1799, in Campos dos Goytacazes, in the current state of Rio de Janeiro. At the age of 17, he left the farm where he worked and went to the city to improve his studies. For two years, he stayed at the house of godfather Manoel Baptista Pereira, father of his cousin Julião. One day, Julião tells Coqueiro that he is going to study in Rio de Janeiro.
Before leaving, however, he makes a request: Coqueiro should take care of Joaquina, his fiancée, while he is away. Coqueiro complies with his cousin's request, but ends up falling in love with Joaquina. In February 1820, against everyone's wishes, he marries his cousin's ex-fiancée. Three years later, Joaquina dies of a lung infection. In 1824, Coqueiro inherits a large tract of land in the Macabu region of Rio de Janeiro. The land was next to Julião's farm, the cousin who lost his bride to him, now his mortal enemy.
This fact is one of several cases in the life of Manoel da Mota Coqueiro, until his death on the gallows.
