Josiah Paulino de Castro, 54 years old, and his wife, Marilyn of Silva Castro, 35 years old, were murdered this Saturday (16), in the District of Guariba in the municipality of Colniza, state of Mato Grosso.

He would have denounced some politicians of the region, by illegal extraction of wood. He also denounced the military police by irregularities in Government agencies by issuing definitive title of irregular land in the region.

"We are dying, we are threatened, the Government of Mato Grosso is conniving, the PM of Guariba protects them, the Federal Government is silent, will I have to be murdered for you to believe and take action," said Josiah on August 5.
