The re-enactment has been done by blocks of "events." Prisoners and witnesses give their version of each "event." The version is re-enacted with other people and objects and recorded by the experts, "as if it were a movie" of each "event", according to a federal police officer.
Then, each version will be confronted in an attempt to dispel the doubts and inconsistencies that arose between testimonies.
On Tuesday, June 28, the experts dealt with the burning of Bruno and Dom's documents and personal belongings and the concealment of the bodies. On Wednesday, June 29, the reconstruction had the participation of the main people accused of the execution of the crime, the fishermen and hunters Amarildo Oliveira, known as "Pelado", and Jeferson Lima, known as "Pelado da Dinha." They were taken from the cell at the police station of Atalaia do Norte, where they are being held under preventive custody orders issued by the courts, and taken to the river under police escort. At the end of the day, they were brought back to the police station cell.
