Ainda de acordo com a PM, o vizinho filmou o momento em que o idoso, portando um machado, passou a desferir golpes contra um cachorro de porte médio. Em seguida, o suspeito ainda agrediu um segundo animal. Os casos aconteceram por volta das 9h30min na Rua Edmundo Bell, região próximo ao Museu da Música.

O vizinho, então, acionou a PM e ainda relatou que viu o homem empurrando um carrinho de mão em direção à área de mata próxima ao rio Benedito.

Diante da gravidade da denúncia, os policias foram até a casa do suspeito. Questionado sobre as imagens que mostram as agressões, ele permaneceu em silêncio, mas indicou o local onde enterrou os cães na beira do rio. O homem ainda disse que o machado utilizado para agredir os animais foi deixado em uma residência nas proximidades.

Os policiais seguiram até a beira do rio e localizaram uma cova aberta. Os animais estavam envolvidos em sacos plásticos e apresentavam lesões na região da cabeça, compatíveis com golpes de machado.

O homem, que ainda vestia as roupas utilizadas no ato com resquícios de sangue, foi preso em flagrante por maus-tratos aos animais.
