A shoemaker was killed in brutal attacks outside a nightclub in the town of Horta on the island of Faial in the Azores.
Ademir Moreno, a resident of the Barreiro area, has been working on a project on this island for about three months. Early on Saturday morning, while he was at a nightclub near the Horta court, he became involved in a disturbance.
According to his colleagues, when he left the premises, a large group was waiting for him, who confronted him, insulted him and attacked him. Then one of the attackers struck, causing Ademir to fall helplessly to the ground and immediately become inanimate.
The victim was treated by Faial firefighters and taken to hospital in critical condition. He was in an induced coma until Monday afternoon when his death was announced.
The public security police took over the investigation of the incident, identified the people involved and referred the case to the prosecutor’s office, which entrusted the investigation to the judicial police.
The main suspect has already been identified.
