Police arrest accomplice in Amareleja homicide, victim's brother. Father was already in custody.

The Judiciary Police, with the support of the GNR, arrested a 34-year-old man suspected of helping his father kill his brother at a camp in Amareleja.

The case dates back to June 10, when the 45-year-old victim was shot with a shotgun, which caused serious abdominal injuries and consequently his death.

“The motive for the crime is related to disagreements over cattle business between family members, a father and two sons,” reports the PJ.

On June 12, a 67-year-old man, the victim's father, “strongly suspected of being the perpetrator of the crime,” had already been arrested.

But according to the PJ, the investigation continued and now led to the arrest, on Thursday, of the victim's brother and son of the first suspect.

The detainee was brought before the court and was subject to the most serious coercive measure of preventive detention.
