Clarisse Paulo was a woman who was murdered by her own grandson in the Mafra region. The victim's identity was revealed in the context of the investigation into this family crime.

The suspect is Clarisse Paulo's grandson. Authorities revealed that he has a past linked to alcohol and drug use.

The young man had been a resident at a rehabilitation center, which suggests prolonged problems with addiction. This history may be related to the crime that led to his grandmother's death.

The case generated great media attention in Portugal, involving a domestic violence crime between members of the same family.
