Assu, Brazil

Lindalva Justo de Oliveira, DC (20 October 1953 – 9 April 1993) was a Brazilian Catholic member of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. Oliveira worked at Dom Pedro II Home, a retirement facility, where she was killed in 1993 after a man obsessed with her stabbed her 44 times when she

refused his advances. Oliveira's beatification received the approval of Pope Benedict XVI, who determined that she was killed in defensum castitatis (in defense of chastity). She was beatified on 2 December 2007, with Cardinal José Saraiva Martins presiding.
