Two men, aged between 29 and 50, were detained by the Judicial Police (PJ) on suspicion of murdering a man with whom they were involved in a dispute on public roads in Barreiro. The facts date back to August 2023.
According to PJ’s statement, the suspects were involved in physical confrontations with several people, including the 38-year-old victim, in the early hours of August 14 last year.
