       She described how the incident left her frozen in fear as the robbers threatened to kill her.

       After escaping, Tatiana took her seven-year-old son home and gave him pens and paper to draw to help calm him down.

       A short while later, the boy’s mother and gran realised he had illustrated the attempted robbery.

       It even included a scene of Heaven, which the boy described as his mother's destination had she been shot.

       The sketch of the robbery also showed two masked men pointing a gun at the boy and his mum as one of them says “kill her”.

       Carvalho told local media: “We were suddenly stopped by two men on a motorbike wearing helmets, they said something and I didn't understand so I took a couple of steps forward until they started shouting that it was a robbery. I lost it, I panicked.”

       With her son by her side, the mother said she froze on the spot and the two men grew angry at how long it was taking her to hand over her bag.

       One of them pointed a gun at the mother and his accomplice told him “kill her”.

       Carvalho explained: “As it took me a while to realise what was going on, I think I took a long time to give them my bag.

       "The one in front started yelling at the other ‘kill her, kill her, kill her’ and my son clung to me even more tightly.

       “It happened in seconds, the worst seconds of my life. As a mother, I always felt like a ‘superwoman’ who could always protect my child, put him first.

       "But I felt extremely vulnerable. There I was, almost certain I was going to die.”

       She said she threw her bag at the armed suspects and ran with her son, aware she could be shot in the back at any moment.

       Carvalho added that they had to dodge an oncoming car and that she fell and injured herself, needing treatment at a local hospital.

       According to the news site G1, some of the belongings in the victim’s handbag were found by a male pedestrian who picked them up and later returned them to her.

       Carvalho said: “I'm really scared, so is my son. He didn't want to go to school that day.

       "He still doesn't want to go to school, he just wants to be with me and I feel extremely helpless.

       "I admit that I'm afraid to go out with him. I always felt safe before, because of that thing about mothers protecting their children, but I'm pretty shaken up.”

       The local police have confirmed that they are investigating the incident. No arrests have been made yet.
