In August 1996, four members of the same family were shot to death at Quinta da Granja in Ourém. The crime, which occurred 30 years ago, remains one of the most gruesome episodes in Portuguese criminal history.
The perpetrator of the massacre killed the entire family and then went to spend the victims' stolen checks on a battery, suggesting he used the money to purchase a vehicle or some related item.
The article states that, three decades later, this massacre still causes chills, highlighting the lasting impact this crime has had on collective memory and the local community.
