Ua 41-year-old man was arrested for being suspected of assaulting, threatening and coercing his grandmother, with whom he resides and of whom he is a caregiver, at least since 2018, in Salvaterra de Magos. The most recent episode of domestic violence occurred on November 10, when the elderly woman had to be assisted in hospital emergencies.
The crimes “consisted of aggression, threats and coercion exercised by the prisoner [...] on his own grandmother, elderly and frail person, with whom he lived and of whom he was a caregiver”, pointed out the Public Prosecutor (MP), in a statement released this Friday.
The abuses will have started in 2018, but have lasted until now. In fact, according to the missive, the episodes of violence have intensified and worsened this year, particularly since September.
On November 10, the victim was conducted in the hospital emergency room, “where he was assisted by several lesions on his face, chest, abrasions and fractures”.
The man was present the first judicial interrogation, this Friday, having been subject to preventive arrest and the prohibition of contacts with the victim and witnesses, besides having given identity and residence term.
The investigation continues under the direction of the MP of the 1st section of the Department of Investigation and Criminal Action (DIAP) headquarters of Santarém, with the support of the Republican National Guard (GNR).
