Ua 34-year-old man was arrested on October 6, in Cascais, on suspicion of domestic violence against the 67-year-old mother.
In a statement sent to News to Minutes, this Tuesday, October 13, the Public Security Police (PSP) reveals that for several years the suspect adopted “aggressive, intimidating and humiliating behavior” with the parent, with whom he lived.
From day to day the victim was part of “threats of death, injuries and physical aggression”. The elderly woman lived, according to the authorities, “subject to a continuous climate of fear and intimidation within her own residence”.
The PSP said that the suspect even assaulted his mother “in the head, prevented her from leaving a room division and, in July 2026, wielded a large kitchen knife, while directing death threats”.
On September 30, there was a new episode of violence. The man will have insulted and threatened the progenitor, “cust on her face, beaten her on the head, pulled her hair and grabbed her by the neck, and resorted to a cutting board to intimidate her”.
The next day, she coerced her into writing a statement while filming it with her cell phone, on which she assumed that she would voluntarily leave the house where they both live.
In view of the reiteration and severity of the conducts, as well as the evidence carried into the proceedings, arrest warrants were issued out of flagrant offense, later completed by the PSP.
After being present to the Judicial Authority for 1st Judicial Interrogation, it was applied the most serious measure of coercion, that of preventive detention.
