The businesswoman and her estranged husband had gone there to formalise their separation.

Icicléia and Romildo Veloso e Silva had been separated for three months.

Silva, 69, was also found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in the law office shortly after the incident in Ourilândia do Norte, southeastern Pará.

Staff told police that he had asked the lawyer to leave the room so he could speak privately with Icicléia.

Shortly after leaving, the lawyer heard gunsH๏τs.

When police arrived, they found Icicléia sitting in a chair with a gunsH๏τ wound to the back of her head, still showing signs of life.

Silva was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in the bathroom with a head wound and a revolver next to his body.

Police believe he sH๏τ Icicléia in revenge for the breakdown of their marriage before turning the gun on himself.

Icicléia received first aid and was taken to a local hospital, before being transferred to another facility.

Her condition worsened on Thursday morning and she remained in a deep coma.

That afternoon, she was pronounced ᴅᴇᴀᴅ from a traumatic brain injury.

Icicléia was laid to rest in Ourilândia do Norte on Friday. She is survived by three sons.

Silva – a surgeon, councillor and former mayor of Ourilândia do Norte – had his wake on Thursday.

An investigation into both causes of death remains ongoing.

It comes after a separate shocking shooting in Brazil just last month that left a newly married bride ᴅᴇᴀᴅ on her wedding day.

Najylla Duenas Nascimento, 34, was tragically killed by her partner Daniel Barbosa Marinho, 55, after he opened fire at the ceremony.

Police said Marinho first sH๏τ Najylla and fled the party in Campinas, Sao Paulo, before allegedly returning and opening fire on her once again.

The groom was arrested shortly after and is currently being held on suspicion of femicide.

The couple had married earlier in the day but reportedly became engrossed in a huge quarrel at the wedding party.

Marinho, a local law-enforcement officer, got into a physical fight with Najylla during the intense row.

Terrified relatives managed to remove children from the scene before the violence escalated.

Najylla was a mother of three from a previous relationship, police have revealed.
