Who is Pedro, the pilot who slept with a sword and is suspected of having stabbed a man?

Guests who praised Pedro Goncalves and his partner on social media for the way they received them at the Quinta Alada in Montemor o Novo could hardly imagine the scene of horror and death seen this week in this pastoral space with ” yurts.” (tents used by nomadic Mongolian shepherds), spiritual retreats and an organic pool.

The circumstances under which Faniko entered the house, as well as the fact that he was barefoot and wearing shorts when the GNR officers arrived at the crime scene, are also unclear.

This was told by a resident of Montemor-o-Novo, familiar with Quinta Alada. cm that Pedro Gonçalves slept with his sword under his bed, as it was an inhospitable place. According to a source who wished to remain anonymous, Pedro appeared to be a calm person.
