A 56-year-old man was placed in pre-trial detention on suspicion of killing his 49-year-old woman with a hammer on May 25 in Porto Mos, Leiria municipality.
The crime was committed after the victim expressed a desire to get a divorce. After attacking a woman, which resulted in her death, the suspect attempted to commit suicide using a sharp weapon.
