Albufeira: Young couple arrested for stabbing 19 year old girl to death

ALBUFEIRA: YOUNG COUPLE ARRESTED FOR STABBING 19 YEAR OLD GIRL TO DEATHThe Police have arrested a 20 year old man and a 21 year old woman, on suspicion of the death of a 19 year old girl outside a nightlife establishment in Albufeira, early on Sunday morning.

The alert was given at 6:30 am and the victim was still alive when firefighters arrived, but emergency medical services declared the young woman dead at around 7:30 am.

It is rumoured that the female arrested is the perpetrator of this crime.

After investigation, “relevant evidence was collected and a knife recovered, which led to the arrest of the suspected perpetrators", said the police statement.

Shockingly, a video of what is thought to be this young woman being attacked was circulated on social media networks shortly after the event. The 22-second video shows attacks on a young woman outside a bar on Rua da Oura in Albufeira, an area known for its intense nightlife. In the final part of the video, a girl can be seen falling to the ground, but it is not known if she is the fatal victim. However, it seems likely.

According to a police source, after investigations and interviews with onlookers, suspicions are that it was a “disagreement between kids” at the end of the “night”. 

The victim and the suspects are all of Portuguese nationality.
