The Judicial Police confirmed the detention of a 45-year-old foreign national man, suspected of being involved in the qualified homicide of a couple of foreign businesspeople in the municipality of Lagos. The individual was detained by Portuguese authorities as part of the investigations into the case.

The two bodies were found in circumstances that the PJ classified as an "extremely violent scene." In addition to the crime of qualified homicide, the suspect is also under investigation for the crime of desecration of corpses, which suggests the bodies were subjected to mistreatment after death.
