The PSP in Porto announced that a 40-year-old woman was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of domestic violence against her 57-year-old ex-partner. The arrest occurred following an argument between the suspect and the victim, during which the woman allegedly exercised physical and psychological violence against him. The suspect also allegedly made serious threats against the ex-partner.
After the arrest, the woman was brought before court, where the preventive detention measure was determined. Thus, the defendant will await the progress of the case in preventive detention, rather than being free with other less restrictive measures.
The Porto Metropolitan Command of the PSP issued a communique announcing the arrest and the applied coercive measure, but the document does not reveal further details about the specific circumstances of the case or about the history of violence between the couple.
