Emiliane Tamara Nunes Carvalho, 24, was found at a property in Brazil after reportedly being held hostage for five days by her ex partner.

Police found the woman tied up with ropes and handcuffs at a property in Águas Lindas de Goiás.

Emiliane was taken to hospital and posted on social media on Saturday that she was released but is still recovering from her injuries. She claimed that she is still under medication and that her wounds had affected her ability to see. She also alleged she had been assaulted while inside the property and her ex-partner used burning cloths to torch her skin. Souza's own family reported him as missing too, which made the police's suspicions grow. He was arrested on the day Emiliane was found. After raiding the run-down home where Emiliane was found, officers seized a 9mm pistol, sedatives, and items used to restrain the alleged victim. The investigation continues.
