Vítor Jorge, 38 years old, a banker at the time, became known for the most macabre reasons and the nickname "Mata-sete." He killed five young people, using firearms and a club as execution methods. The crimes occurred in Coimbra, where the assassin committed the homicides brutally.
After committing the murders, Vítor Jorge ended up being held in Coimbra prison. There, his routine included helping with the celebration of mass, an activity that contrasted sharply with the violence of the crimes he had committed.
This case remained etched in the Portuguese collective memory for the cruelty of the acts and the contrast between the criminal life of "Mata-sete" and the apparent normalcy of his religious activity within the prison establishment.
