Dozens of people wanted to be present at the last goodbye to Joana Nascimento who died on June 23rd from an infection, a week after being stabbed outside her home in Lagoa by her ex-boyfriend. The young man could not deal with the end of the relationship and had already threatened JOana on other occasions, including in the workplace and at home. However, she never filed a complaint against him.
The man even ended up surrendering to the authorities, accompanied by a lawyer at the GNR in Lagoa, two days after the young woman was attacked, but remains free.
At the Mass held at the Igreja da Misericórdia, in Lagoa, dozens of members of the public turned out to show their respects, while friends and family dressed in white offered various heartfelt messages about the young woman, who was a well-known person in Lagoa.
After the service, several family members and friends launched balloons, amid applause. Joana's body was then sent to be cremated in Albufeira.
