A source from the Judiciary Police (PJ) told the Lusa agency that the man was present at the first judicial interrogation at the Évora Court, which decreed the most serious measure of coercion, and was taken to the Beja Prison Establishment where he will await the outcome of the process. In a statement sent to the Lusa agency, the PJ indicated that the man was arrested today by elements of the Évora Local Criminal Investigation Unit (ULIC) of this police force on suspicion of "committing a crime of qualified homicide". "The facts occurred on February 9, when the victim was found dead inside her residence, with injuries that showed she had been violently attacked to death," he added. Contacted by Lusa, a police source said that both had a romantic relationship and that the man had acted in a fit of jealousy. The woman was found dead at home by her children, late in the afternoon of February 9, the source said, indicating that the body showed signs of violence to the head, neck and upper limbs. In the statement, the PJ stressed that the actions of the ULIC of Évora "allowed for the obtaining of evidence" that indicates that the suspect is the perpetrator of the crime.
