An influencer who ran over and killed a groom just hours after his wedding has surrendered to police after 10 months on the run.

The incident occurred in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where accused Vitor Vieira Belarmino turned himself in to police on 19th May.

The first video captures groom Fabio Toshiro Kikuta dancing with his wife Bruna Villarinho at their wedding.

The second video shows the moment Belarmino ran over Fabio while the newlyweds were on the way to the beach for a romantic walk.

Fabio had just married Bruna in a joyous ceremony before the tragic incident occurred in July 2024.

The victim was knocked flying when Belarmino struck him with his BMW at speed, and his body spun several times in the air.

The BMW only stopped a few feet ahead, but then drove away.

Belarmino was being sought by police for intentional homicide and failure to provide assistance. Five women who were in the car with Belarmino could also face charges for failure to provide assistance.

According to Brazilian police, Belarmino managed to evade capture for nearly a year after he fled the scene.

Investigators said that he had been living under a false identity in various locations to avoid arrest.

Police have now confirmed that Belarmino surrendered voluntarily after negotiations with his legal team.

In the investigation, police say that the influencer was travelling at 109kph (68mph) at the time of the impact, but reached 160kph (100mph) moments before the accident.

The speed limit on the road is only 70kph (43mph) .

The case has drawn widespread public attention in Brazil and internationally, with many expressing outrage over the influencer's actions.

The prosecutor's office confirmed that he could face a lengthy prison sentence if convicted.

His legal team has yet to issue an official statement.
