Both the mother and the uncle separately confessed to killing Joana but early on the police were desperate to find the child and that is why they did what they did to them out of sheer exasperation. One has to remember that at that point the child could have been injured and dying so urgency was needed. What the police did was unethical but necessary imo. And before anyone shouts police brutality I must point out that this happens in every country in the world to a greater or lesser extent.

Joana disappeared on 12th September. How many days had lapsed during which she could have been injured & dying before Leonor & Joao were tortured to ascertain where Joana was? Even to the uninitiated of Portuguese police methods, your excuse for their actions seems rather "frivolous" IMO.

She was convicted for it in a country where the legal system rules that information obtained under duress is inadmissible.
