Axé Bahía: the mystery behind the death of Jefferson Barbosa
The chronology of the death of the Axé Bahía dancer, Jefferson Barbosa, details that he was in deep depression because of what happened to his daughter Ixchel Anastassia Barbosa Beytia, then 13 years old.
On April 19, the Chilean Pamela Beytia, mother of the dancer’s daughter, asked him to pick up the girl from school. However, he was detained by the Police at the place, after the teachers of the Maipú Experimental High School called the authorities, after hearing that Ixchel Barbosa confided to a friend that he had been the victim of improper touching by the father of he.
Jefferson Barbosa was released after two hours of interrogation by the prosecutor on duty from the Santiago Central North Prosecutor’s Office. According to his brother Jociney Barbosa, he was left in shock. “I was bad psychologically. He would say: ‘My life is over, everything is over’, because she didn’t know what to do. He had no idea what was going on.” told the morning “Welcome”.
As it became known, hours before his death, Jefferson Barbosa received a call from Pamela Beytía, inciting him to end his life, as the Brazilian model revealed months later Clarisse Lima, former member of Axé Bahía and partner of Jociney Barbosa at that time. “Jociney picks up the phone and says: ‘Please, any questions or problems you have, contact our lawyer. Don’t call Jefferson anymore.’ And she answers: ‘Tomorrow I’m going to denounce your brother and have him disappear’”.
A month after the death of Jefferson Barbosa, Pamela Beytía gave an interview to “True Lies” and acknowledged that she made the call without going into details, and, on the contrary, said: “I was never his friend, partner, I never loved him. For me, Jefferson was a very bad dream of my life. Nothing happens to me with his death ”.
The official complaint against Jefferson Barbosa for undue touching his daughter was never made.
