In a disturbing turn of events, a supermarket worker’s husband was caught on camera assaulting his wife’s boss with a shovel in a shocking act of revenge.
The violent incident, which unfolded in Sinop, Brazil, on Saturday, January 18, has left the local community reeling.
According to surveillance footage, 29-year-old Danielson Martins Paiva walked into the supermarket and calmly browsed the garden equipment aisle.
Little did the staff and customers know, Paiva had come prepared to seek retribution. After surveying the area, he picked up a shovel and made his way toward Claudio Soares dos Santos, the store manager.
While the unsuspecting manager, 40-year-old dos Santos, was on the phone and momentarily distracted, Paiva seized the opportunity.
In a split second, he swung the shovel with force, hitting dos Santos in the head. The impact caused the manager to collapse to the ground, and his phone flew from his hands.

In the aftermath, Paiva explained that his actions were driven by anger over his wife being reprimanded by dos Santos.
According to Paiva, his wife had complained about her work demands and being denied time off. It seems this frustration, combined with a sense of revenge, led to the horrific outburst.
