Doctor says SHE'S the victim after her husband 'took out a hit on her boytoy lover'
A doctor caught in the middle of a love triangle has denying any wrongdoing following the murder of her alleged lover. Dr. Sabrina de Mello slammed the public for judging her without having direct knowledge of what led to the death of Ivan Bonotto, who was stabbed on March 22 at her husband's bar in Sorriso - a city in the west-central state of Mato Grosso - and died April 13 after going into cardiac arrest while hospitalized at Sorriso Regional Hospital. 'I, Sabrina Iara de Mello, a gynecologist and obstetrician in the city of Sorriso, express my profound indignation at the recent statements on social media from people unaware of the incident, accusing me of having an extramarital affair, covering up the murder of a lover, and slandering me without any basis in fact,' Dr. de Mello said in a statement that was posted on her Instagram account Thursday. 'These people ignore the facts, choosing to confuse my private life with a homicide that occurred, when there is no connection between these facts,' the mother-of-two said. The Mato Gross Civil Police said Bonotto was set up by Dr. de Mello's husband, Gabriel Tacca, after he discovered that Bonotto, a longtime friend, his wife had been romantically involved. Tacca invited Bonotto to the bar he owned and pretended to fight his friend, businessman Danilo Guimarães, who ended up stabbing Bonotto several times. On Tuesday, police announced the arrests of Dr. de Mello, Tacca and Guimarães. Dr. de Mello criticized the public for pinning Bonotto's death on her. 'Most people are choosing sides. And they chose the wrong side,' she said. 'These people don't condemn the confessed killer, but they make a fuss about invading my private life.' Tacca and Guimarães voluntarily appeared before authorities in the days following Bonotto's stabbing. Tacca claimed that the fight was sparked by argument over drinks and that he did not know who Bonotto was. Guimarães told agents that he stabbed Bonotto in self-defense. 'They talk more about me than condemning the killer. I am a doctor,' Dr. de Mello said. 'When he arrived at the hospital, the entire hospital staff gave the victim their full support, in a pluralistic way, aiming to save his life.' Authorities allege that Tacca instructed Dr. de Mello to sneak into Sorriso Regional Hospital and delete the video of the staged fight and attack that Bonotto filmed on his cell phone. Video footage showed Dr. de Mello holding Bonotto's mobile device as she walked behind the hospital staff, who were transporting Bonotto to the operating room. Dr. de Mello told investigators that she erased the video from Bonotto's phone because she wanted to 'protect the victim.' The doctor, who owns works out of two offices in Sorriso and Tapurah, argued that she was never jailed. 'We reaffirm, as a woman and a doctor, the freedom of expression of people, but with responsibility and truth. I am not imprisoned,' she said. 'I was questioned and subsequently released, being investigated for alleged procedural fraud, an investigation that will open the way for adversarial proceedings and a full defense. 'Preempting judgments on people is dangerous. It denigrates their image and stifles freedom of expression through psychological torture,' she added. 'I humbly ask everyone to await the outcome of the investigation, refraining from making judgments, meaning, preemptively denying what happened.' A surveillance video camera mounted on the garage of the Dr. de Mello's residence showed Bonotto pulling up in a motorcycle March 9. They kissed for a moment before they walked into her home and did so again when they exited before he left. Dr. de Mello stressed that Bonotto's murder and her personal life could not be tied together. 'There is no absolute connection between the homicide and my conduct regarding my private life,' she said. 'Pointing the finger at one side of the facts is not neutrality. It is complicity.'

Doctor rushed to hospital after her toyboy lover 'was fatally-stabbed at behest of her furious husband' - but she wasn't there to help him
A doctor under investigation for the murder of her lover was instructed by her husband to delete a video that captured the attack, Brazilian authorities have revealed. Ivan Bonotto, 35, was stabbed March 22 at a bar in Sorriso, Mato Grosso that is owned by the gynecologist's partner before he died after going into cardiac arrest on April 13. Bonotto was rushed to Sorriso Regional Hospital, where Dr. Sabrina de Mello arrived four minutes after he was admitted, according to the Mato Grosso Civil Police. Dr. de Mello, a mother-of-two, was dressed in scrubs and told security that she was there to visit Bonotto, whom she described as a friend. The physician was seen on video walking behind the hospital staff as they hurried him to the operating room and deleting text messages and the footage of the fight that Bonotto recorded on his cell phone. Dr. de Mello told investigators that she erased the messages and video because she was looking to 'protect the victim.' On Tuesday, authorities arrested Dr. de Mello, on charges of procedural fraud and obstruction of justice. Tacca was taken into custody for masterminding the attack while his friend, local businessman Danilo Guimarães, was arrested for killing Bonotto. Bonotto was a good friend of Tacca and often stayed at the family residence. A selfie taken by Dr. de Mello showed Bonotto drinking a beer and a smiling Tacca in the background. 'Thanks for the visit,' the doctor's caption read. Two other captions read: 'They go, I don't' and 'Excellent company.' Another photo taken by the gynecologist showed her, Bonotto and Tacca at a pool. Surveillance video footage showed Bonotto visiting the home March 9 and kissing the doctor in the garage. They spent some time inside the residence before they walked out and kissed again. After learning that one of his closest friends and his wife were romantically involved, Tacca lured Bonotto to his bar, where he and Guimarães faked the scene of a fight, which Bonotto is said to have captured on video. At one point, Guimarães attacked Bonotto and stabbed him multiple times. Tacca presented himself at a police station and told investigators that he did not know Bonotto and that the brawl was sparked by drinking at the bar. Guimarães indicated that he was involved in the fight, but that he stabbed Bonotto to protect himself. Mato Grosso Civil Police chief Bruno Brança said they discovered that Tacca and Guimarães remained at the bar and spoked for 'one minute and 42 seconds.' 'After the person [Guimarães] left, the bar owner waited another 11 minutes, with the victim in critical condition, to take him to the hospital,' he said. 'The claim that he had called the police and fire department is false. There was no connection in the records.' 'What we know is that the story about a bar fight is a lie,' Brança added. 'There was no fight, no self-defense, no racist abuse. What happened was an attack from behind, which we believe was planned.'

Married doctor's 'affair' with another man ends in mayhem and MURDER as shocking footage of her in scrubs emerges
A gynecologist, her husband and a businessman have been arrested in connection to the murder of the physician's lover, whom she was caught on camera kissing outside her home in Sorriso, Brazil. The Mato Grosso Civil Police carried out the arrests Tuesday, three months following the death of Ivan Bonotto, 35, who on March 22 was lured to a bar owned by the doctor's husband and stabbed. Bonotto suffered multiple stab wounds and remained under observation at Sorriso Regional Hospital, where he died after going into cardiac arrest on April 13. Dr. Sabrina de Mello, a mother-of-two, is being investigated for procedural fraud, the Mato Gross Civil Police said. Her husband, Gabriel Tacca, is said to have plotted the murder while his friend and businessman, Danilo Guimarães, reportedly killed Bonnatto. Authorities said that Bonotto was a very good friend of Tacca and carried a secretive relationship with Dr. de Mello. A security camera positioned at the family residence showed Bonnatto pulling into the garage on March 9. Dr. de Mello and Bonotto were filmed kissing in front of entrance and later enter the home. They later walked out together and kissed before Bonotto departed. After learning of the affair, Tacca reportedly contracted Guimarães to murder Bonotto, police said. As part of the plot to kill Bonnatto, Tacca and Guimarães staged a bar brawl and lured Bonotto, who was repeatedly stabbed in the back by Guimarães. Bonotto was rushed to private hospital, where surveillance video showed Dr. de Mello arrived wearing a set of blue scrubs to blend in with the facility staff as they were transporting the victim to the operating room. Dr. de Mello removed Bonotto's cell phone and deleted several messages and a video that showed Tacca and Guimarães pretending to fight. The police said that Dr. de Mello used her professional credentials to gain access to the medical facility and clear the suspects of suspicion. Dr. de Mello maintained possession of Bonotto's phone for three days before she handed it over to his family. She told the police that she deleted the messages because she only wanted 'to protect the victim.' 'The victim's cell phone was practically reset and we were able to prove that there was actually a fabricated story about a man being cheated on,' police chief Bruno Brança said Tuesday. 'We're looking at the dynamics of the crime. The bar fight never happened, and the victim was stabbed next to the bar owner, who claimed he didn't know anything, that he hadn't seen it.' Tacca and Guimarães voluntarily turned themselves after the incident. Tacca told cops that the fight was sparked by an argument over liquor that was being consumed at the bar, and told the agents that he did not know who Guimarães and Bonotto were. Guimarães was questioned and told the police that he stabbed Bonotto to protect himself from being harmed. 'After the crime, the bar owner and the person who stabbed him remained in the distributor talking for one minute and 42 seconds,' Brança said. 'After the person left, the bar owner waited another 11 minutes, with the victim in critical condition, to take her to the hospital. The claim that he had called the police and fire department is false. There was no connection in the records.' 'What we know is that the story about ç bar fight is a lie,' Brança added. 'There was no fight, no self-defense, no racist abuse. What happened was an attack from behind, which we believe was planned.'
