A 25 year old woman, Joana Nascimento, died on Friday after being stabbed in the neck by her ex-boyfriend a week ago, as she left her home in Lagoa.

Twenty-one municipalities across the country, six in the Algarve, are unsurprisingly on maximum fire alert this week, according to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA), due to the hot weather.

A 34 year old man stabbed his wife and stayed with her corpse all night before handing himself over to the GNR the next morning.

On Monday afternoon, the PSP caught four suspects, in full swing of criminal activity, stealing the catalytic converter from a vehicle in Portimão.

Last weekend, the GNR in Loulé performed general inspections on traffic to combat crime in Loulé, over the course of 4 days, resulting in the arrest of 23 people.

A collision involving four light vehicles yesterday evening, next to the Prison in Faro, caused six people to be injured, one of them seriously.

Around 500 motorcyclists protested this weekend, against the 'farcical' imposition of mandatory periodic inspections on motorcycles with more than 125cc's, which is said to come into force from January 2024.

Today, 15 environmental associations asked the Minister for the Environment and Climate Action, Duarte Cordeiro, for the immediate protection of the Alagoas Brancas wetland. The signatories want the suspension of a commercial enterprise.
