A 34-year-old British woman died on Tuesday afternoon, October 1, after being stabbed in a hotel in Albufeira. The victim's partner, also British and the same age, was arrested at the scene for crimes involving a bladed weapon. The alert for the incident was given at 6:42 PM.
The attack allegedly occurred in a corridor on the second floor of the hotel. After the attack, the suspect did not try to flee, remaining at the hotel until authorities arrived. The couple was accompanied by a minor child, although no further details have been revealed about the relationship between the two or the circumstances that led to the stabbing.
The GNR was initially called to the scene. Subsequently, as it involves a death with suspicions of homicide, the Judicial Police was called in to take over the investigation and collect the necessary evidence at the scene. The suspect remains in custody, and the case is expected to follow the prescribed judicial procedures. The name of the hotel has not been disclosed.
