A man was arrested by the Judicial Police at the weekend, on strong suspicions of a murder that occurred in Albufeira, in October 2019.
According to the police, the 2019 murder of a 61 year old owner of a traditional pastry store was carried out inside the company's premises. The owner was alone in the store when he was violently attacked, tied and gagged. His body was found by employees the next day.
The motive for the offense was said to be large amounts of money that the victim kept at the company, and his adjacent home.
The 40 year old suspect was remanded in custody after judicial interrogation.
The PJ highlights that it was as a result of investigative work by the Southern Directorate of the PJ, with the help of expertise carried out by the PJ's Scientific Police Laboratory, which made it possible to identify the suspect, determining the issuance of arrest warrants by the Department of Investigation and Criminal Action (DIAP) in Albufeira.
