Suzane's parents initially allowed her to date Daniel but changed their mind when they discovered that he used marijuana almost daily, was unwilling to work or attend school, and came from a lower-class background. In July 2002, while Suzane's parents were on vacation, Daniel moved into the house for a month. When the parents came back home, Suzane suggested they buy her a flat in which she could live with Daniel, which her father refused, saying that she could do whatever she liked only if she earned money herself.
Suzane's parents initially allowed her to date Daniel, believing it to be a temporary crush, but changed their mind as it went on and when they discovered that he used marijuana almost daily, was unwilling to work or attend school, and came from a lower-class background (although Daniel himself asserted the opposite on his trial: that he worked hard and didn't smoke).

Suzane continued to meet Daniel in secret and claimed that her actions were motivated by love and a fear that Daniel would leave her. Her lawyer, Denivaldo Barni, said that Suzane had no motive at all, but was forced to the crime by Daniel, whom she adored like a god.
