Police say suspect, who later died in gas explosion, was former partner of teenager’s mother
A 13-year-old British boy has reportedly been stabbed to death in Portugal.
The country’s Judicial Police said it was investigating the deaths of the teenager, who was identified by local media as a British national, and the alleged perpetrator, who police say was the former partner of his mother.
The mother “was found by authorities showing signs of having been restrained and assaulted, and was subsequently taken to the nearest hospital”, police said in a statement.
“Both the alleged assailant and the minor presented several injuries caused by a bladed weapon but, despite vital signs still being detectable, death was declared at the scene moments later.”
