Three more individuals have been arrested in connection with the death of a woman who was thrown from a bridge in a bungled bungee jump in Brazil.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, was hurled more than 100ft to her death earlier this month from Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, São Paulo.

Three men are already facing charges of homicide with eventual intent, with the Daily Mail understanding that three others have since been arrested. 

One is understood to be a woman seized in Rio de Janeiro who is reportedly the overall leader of the group responsible for the horror, the Daily Mail has been told.

The other two suspects were picked up in Limeira and the city of Indaiatuba on Friday. One is said to have been responsible for taking the GoPro camera that Rodrigues de Freitas was holding in the jump.

It is understood the two men arrested were not among the three held and then released by police shortly after the tragedy.

Rodrigues de Freitas was seen in disturbing viral footage being hoisted onto the shoulders of two men as she spreads her arms and is tossed over the side.  

Less than three seconds later her smashed body lay on the ground while the rope meant to catch her remained coiled on the bridge. 

Miraculously, Rodrigues de Freitas was still breathing for a short while before dying at the scene.

She had traveled from her home in a São Paulo suburb to be among a large group who put their lives in the hands of the unregulated rope-jump companies. 

Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, 32, Maicon Fernandes Cintra, 42 and 27-year-old Vitor de Freitas Goncalves were arrested and charged with homicide with eventual intent. 

It means they did not intend to kill, but are accused of a dangerous act that carried a fatal risk.

Startling interrogation footage revealed that Feliciano Egoroff, who carried Rodrigues de Freitas at the front, told cops he and Fernandes Cintra were responsible for attaching the rope.

'It's him or me who does that,' he said in the clip, reported by EPTV.

But then Feliciano Egoroff repeatedly insisted he could not recall other details of what happened in the lead up to the tragedy. 

'I went to the front first,' he said. 'After that it erased from my mind. I can't remember.'

Fernandes Cintra said he had been the instructor at the young woman's feet. 'In the procedure, sometimes I'm the one who places the rope, sometimes it's Felipe.'

He said it was difficult to understand how the mistake leading to the tragedy happened. 

'It's us three on the job. I can't understand at what moment I didn't see the rope,' he said. 'I simply cannot understand.'

According to a police report seen by the Daily Mail, Rodrigues de Freitas was given a GoPro camera to hold and record her descent.

But it is understood the camera, which could hold further clues to the horror, has mysteriously vanished.

Asked where it was, de Freitas Goncalves told police: 'Right, yeah, we don't know'.

The Daily Mail exclusively revealed this week that the bridge is to be blown up to prevent future tragedies. 

Work started Wednesday morning, less than a week after Rodrigues de Freitas was hurled off the bridge to her death.

The decision to demolish the dangerous structure comes after a heartbroken relative demanded action in a text to a local politician who for years has campaigned against the rogue cord and bungee operators using it.
