others, Marcos Emmanuel and Nelson Cunha, were handed sentences equivalent to life sentences. One of the children that survived that attack was supposedly shot several times before he could testify against policemen that were to go to trial, and ended up fleeing from Brazil in order to save his life. The international community severely condemned the attack, and many in Brazil asked for the prosecution of those who shot the Candelária Church children. The event was addressed by the Brazilian death metal band Lacerated and Carbonized in the song "The Candelária Massacre" from their 2013 album The Core of Disruption. Blaggers ITA did the same in their 1993 single "Oxygen" Survivors A social worker who later tracked the fate of these homeless survivors of the Candelária massacre found out that eventually 39 of them were either killed by police or by elements of street life, and discusses this in the documentary Bus 174 about the Nascimento incident.
