The suspect in the murder in Urun, Santarém district, will await trial in preventive detention, a police source told Lusa.
The man was arrested this Wednesday by the Criminal Investigation Department of Leiria, in the city of Ourém, on suspicion of attempted murder and for the stabbing of another man on July 4, the Judicial Police announced.
He was heard on Thursday by a criminal investigation judge who took the mandatory measure of preventive detention against him.
According to sources from the Judiciary Police, the two had known each other for some time and had disagreements over drug use and small-scale drug trafficking. The suspect used a sharp weapon to seriously injure the 45-year-old victim.
“The facts conveyed to the officer at the time were the culmination of a conflictual relationship between them. The victim had suffered multiple physical assaults, resulting in different injuries, including a broken jaw and sharp force injuries to the face, skull and hands, the latter being, defensive injuries,” the statement said.
The arrests “were part of a police operation to execute home and vehicle search warrants and arrest warrants outside of active crime scenes, which made it possible to collect evidence strongly indicating that the detainees committed crimes.”
