The Sintra West Lisbon District Court decided to apply preventive detention to the young suspect accused of killing his own grandmother on Sunday. The suspect, whose age is not mentioned in the article, was heard in a first hearing and was subjected to the most severe precautionary measure.
The crime allegedly occurred on Sunday, with authorities being called to the scene. The victim is the young defendant's grandmother, establishing the familial link between the perpetrator and the victim of the crime.
The decision to apply preventive detention was made by the court with jurisdiction over the case, which considered there to be sufficient evidence to justify this extreme measure of procedural coercion.
