32-year-old foreign national in police custody
A 32-year-old man killed a 72-year-old man in the early hours of this morning in a house in Óbidos, in the district of Leiria. He also seriously injured two other people, according to a GNR source.
The story so far is that the 32-year-old “entered the victims’ family home, in the parish of Amoreira at around 3am, where there were five people, one of them a child.
“The suspect stabbed a 72-year-old man to death, and seriously injured his 68-year-old wife and 30-year-old son
“The alarm was raised by a 30-year-old woman who also lived in the house and was uninjured”, writes Lusa.
The victims were transported to Caldas da Rainha hospital in a serious condition.
The suspect was arrested by GNR agents who responded to the emergency call. He apparently offered no resistance.
According to one report, the child was uninjured, having taken refuge during the attack in a bathroom. There is nothing to suggest this incident was connected to a robbery.
The investigation is now in the hands of PJ judicial police.
