Suzane von Richthofen, convicted of murdering her parents in 2002, adopted the surname Muniz after marrying doctor Felipe Zecchini Muniz. The change took place in October 2023, changing its name to Suzane Louise Magnani Muniz. She lives in Águas de Lindóia, in the interior of São Paulo, where she builds a family routine with her husband, the couple’s son and three stepdaughters.
The son, Felipe Muniz Júnior, was born in January 2024 at the Albert Sabin Hospital, in Atibaia, with judicial authorization to preserve privacy. The family chose to register the child without the surname von Richthofen to avoid associations with the past. Suzane has served the open regime since 2023, after sentence progression.
Felipe Zecchini Muniz, 42 years old, works at Hospital São Camilo, in Águas de Lindóia, carrying out shifts and home consultations. Living in the city center facilitates access to local schools and activities. The family maintains discretion about Suzane’s criminal history.
Name change details
The adoption of the Muniz surname represented a formal stage in family integration. Civil registration took place without complications, in line with Brazilian legislation on post-marriage nominal changes.
Suzane justified the decision in court documents to protect her son’s identity. The measure avoided unnecessary exposure in school and social environments.
