A disagreement between neighbors is believed to have been the cause of a deliberately set fire in a house in Loures. Authorities suspect that a couple set fire to the victim's house using gasoline and a blowtorch as instruments to ignite the fire.

The incident occurred in the context of a prolonged conflict between those involved, according to initial investigations. Local authorities initiated procedures to clarify the exact circumstances of the crime and identify all those responsible for the action.

Authorities are investigating the motivations behind the fire, which is believed to have been motivated by previous enmities between the neighbors. The case remains under investigation by the competent authorities to determine the criminal responsibilities of the suspected couple.
