A 12-year-old girl has died while giving birth to her attacker's baby after she was allegedly raped by a 22-year-old man.
The unnamed schoolgirl began suffering severe stomach cramps 32 weeks into her pregnancy and was rushed to the Mother and Child Centre in Betim, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Local media reports indicate the girl died from a brain haemorrhage after surgeons carried out an emergency C-section. Her uncle said her death was 'because of the pregnancy', adding "it was an adult man, we already know who he is'.
The young girl had not told her parents she was pregnant for weeks because she did not understand what was happening. and it is believed she did not receive any prenatal care.
She had been classed as a vulnerable person by police and officers are investigating her death.
It is not clear if an arrest has been made. Her newborn baby, meanwhile, is reported to have survived.
The city hall said the family, from an indigenous Warao tribal community, have been offered counselling.
'The family received continuous monitoring from the unit's multidisciplinary team, including psychological support,' a spokesperson said.
The rape of a vulnerable person in Brazil comes with a penalty of up to 15 years behind bars.
In Argentina, there was a shocking case of a 12-year-old girl giving birth to twins after local authorities denied her an abortion after she was raped in 2020.
Officials forced the child to remain pregnant and two babies were later delivered by caesarean section. Abortion became legal in Argentina later that year.

The Voice: Which Former Contestants Should Return for Season 29?

Fans of The Voice let out a collective chorus of 'Hmm' when the NBC sing-off revealed the changes being implemented for Season 29's Battle of Champions (which premieres in spring 2026). In particular, eyebrows were raised over the Knockouts round twist in which coaches Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson bring back two former contestants apiece to duke it out in what the show has dubbed an In-Season All-Star Competition to be judged by former coach CeeLo Green. On one hand, it seems unfair to the new contestants who will have made it to the Knockouts. They ran a gauntlet to get that far, only to then have to contend with past favorites. On the other hand, it's an intriguing proposition. Who among us doesn't have singers from past seasons that we'd love to see come back and win the whole shebang? I might not tune in for one coach over another, but you bet I'd make The Voice appointment TV to hear Team Legend's Katie Kadan again! More from TVLine Chicago P.D. Adds The Night Agent's Arienne Mandi as New Series Regular The Voice Season 29 Brings Back Three Veteran Coaches - and Ushers In a Remixed Format NBC Orders Stumble Cheerleading Comedy to Series - Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam Star Below, you'll find the singers from Legend, Levine and Clarkson's old rosters that I'd most like to see get a second chance. Check 'em out, then hit the comments with the past contestants that you most want to come back and try, try again. Amanda Brown (Team Adam Levine) The Season 3 standout's Playoffs cover of Aerosmith unequivocally told all future contestants that if they thought they could do better, ahem, dream on. (Listen to her rendition above.) (Team Kelly Clarkson) The quality of his voice was right there in this charismatic Season 23 contestant's name. Maybe the second time will be the charm for him? (Listen to 'Perfect' take on Ed Sheeran above.) Sarah Grace (Team Kelly Clarkson) Just a kid during Season 15, when she was axed in the Semifinals, Grace had the chops even then to go all the way; she just… well, didn't. (Marvel at her 'Amazing Grace'/'House of the Rising Sun' mash-up above.) Katie Kadan (Team John Legend) Though the Season 17 belter had a memorable look, enviable wit and an unforgettably resonant voice, she only scored a third-place finish. (Buckle up for her cover of Janis Joplin's 'Piece of My Heart' above.) Jershika Maple (Team John Legend) The term 'powerhouse' was all but coined to describe the Season 21 contestant whose soulful vocals should've landed her higher than fifth place. (Lend an ear as she slays Natalie Cole's 'Inseparable' above.) James Wolpert (Team Adam Levine) The alt-rocker left us intoxicated with his Playoffs cover of Joni Mitchell's classic 'A Case of You' but still got eliminated in Season 5's Semifinals.

Palmeiras fight back to beat Fluminense, stay in title hunt 🎥

Palmeiras won against Fluminense in a comeback on Wednesday (23) in the 16th round of the Brasileirão. Cano opened the scoring from a penalty for the home team at Maracanã. Maurício equalized in the first half's stoppage time in a play with a bad mistake by Fábio. In the final stage, Vitor Roque scored to close the scoring, taking advantage of a wrong pass by Martinelli. The result represented a breaking of a taboo for Palmeiras. The team's last victory at Maracanã had been in the Libertadores final against Santos, in January 2021. The drought had reached eight years considering games against Fluminense at the stadium. The last triumph had occurred in a game for the 2017 Brazilian Championship. Fluminense, on the other hand, reached three defeats in three games played after the Club World Cup. See below the goals of the match on Wednesday:The game Fluminense started the game better, not letting Palmeiras play and appearing more in the attacking field. Soteldo stood out with good plays on the left wing and from him came the first decisive play of the game. The Venezuelan crossed the ball into the area and found Freytes, who suffered a foul from Facundo Torres inside the area. Germán Cano went to take the penalty and opened the scoring. Palmeiras was muted in the attack and had not finished on target until the first half's stoppage time. Suddenly, they received a contribution from Fábio. Maurício received a cross from Sosa in the penalty area and headed without much force, in the direction of the goalkeeper. He seemed to be in great condition to make a simple save, but let the ball escape and saw it hit the net. Fluminense continued to give gifts after the interval. Right at the beginning of the second half, a wrong pass in the defensive field made Palmeiras start a quick attack, with Vitor Roque leaving Facundo Torres face to face with the goal. The Uruguayan had the finish defended by Fábio and Palmeiras' attackers were unable to take advantage of the rebound. Shortly after, a new gift turned into a goal. Martinelli made a wrong pass near Fluminense's defensive penalty area and left Vitor Roque in great condition to invade the area and turn the score around. Fluminense pressured and sought their second goal in the game after falling behind. But Weverton didn't have to work much and Palmeiras held the victory, even with one player less on the field. Allan was sent off already in the final stage's stoppage time.
