A teacher from the state education network, identified as Cândida de Nazaré da Silva, 35 years old, died after being hit by a line with cerol in Ponte do Baralho (Ilha do Bispo), a location that connects João Pessoa to the city of Bayeux. The victim had a vicious cut on her neck and fell to the ground, clutching her throat and rolling around in agony.
A resident who lives close to the accident said that the woman was riding a motorcycle when she was rode straight into the kite line as she approached a bridge. Residents of the region called SAMU to help her, but she succumbed to her injury and died at the scene.
It was later determined that the line she hit was a kite line that had been cut and had drifted across the road. The line was coated with cerol, which is what proved fatal for her.
Cerol is a mixture of glue with small pieces of ground glass that are applied to kite lines with the purpose of cutting the lines of other opposing kites in the favela sport of 'kite fighting'. Lines with wax have an enormous cutting capacity and cause deep wounds that are potentially fatal when they reach the neck region, and when they do not kill, they leave catastrophic injuries on their victims.
