Once they confronted her, she handed over the murder weapon.
The mother also quickly confessed to the killing, but insisted it was only to save her daughter.
In court, prosecutors took issue with this.
They tried to argue that the brutality of the murder proved it was carried out “not in blind rage but with cold premeditation”.
However, to the defendant’s relief the jury sided with her.
Erica was acquitted of aggravated homicide and destroying a corpse after just one day of testimony.
This is not the first time a child abuser has come to a sticky end in Brazil.
In December, a convicted paedophile and child murderer was shot dead just hours after being released from prison.
CCTV showed two hooded gunmen approach Joao Ferreira da Silva as he left a hotel in Sinop.
The depraved individual was forced to put his hands behind his back before being led away from the entrance.
