New video footage of a woman who wheeled her uncle's corpse into a bank has emerged.

Erika de Souza was arrested after allegedly pushing her dead uncle Paulo Braga, 68, into a bank and trying to take out a loan.

A video of de Souza attempting to get her uncle to sign for the loan was reported by Brazilian news outlet TV Globo and has since gone viral.

De Souza had entered the bank and dismissed the concerns of staff when Braga was unresponsive.

In the original video she could be heard saying 'he doesn't say anything, that's just how he is' and telling the unresponsive man 'if you're not OK, I'm going to take you to the hospital'.

Concerned staff called the police and de Souza was arrested, with paramedics confirming that Braga was dead.

Now a second video of the incident has emerged following reporting from Brazilian news magazine Fantastico.

She then returns with a cup of water for Braga, who remained motionless in the chair.

After this exchange de Souza walks up to the counter and begin interacting with the teller.

Civil Police investigators in Rio de Janeiro said Braga was already dead prior to his arrival at the bank.

A post-mortem indicated that Braga had died from 'bronchoaspiration and heart failure'.

The investigation is ongoing.

"She has been experiencing disorders"

Erika's lawyer Ana de Souza said: "The case has barely started and there is already a punishment prior to a sentencing decision.

"That is, she is already being punished before she is even convicted, if she is going to be convicted at all."

Police are also investigating whether de Souza was aware that her uncle had passed away.

De Souza's son Lucas Nunes has also spoken out and claimed that his mom has a history of psychiatric treatment.

He said: "She has been going through difficult times. She has been experiencing disorders.

"She has psychological and psychiatric support."

Nunes also explained that Braga had requested the loan back in March and that he had intended to use it to repair the home where he lived with de Souza and three of her children.

He said: "My mother raised six children. And she never needed to steal or deceive anyone to do so.

"My mother guided her children towards life, and she guided them very well, teaching us the path of studies, the path of what is correct."
