Tributes have been paid to a 13-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in central Portugal on Tuesday.
The boy, named locally as British national Alfie Hallett, died in the parish of Casais in Tomar after being found with "several injuries caused by a bladed weapon".
According to Portuguese police a suspect was found with similar injuries and died in a possible gas explosion, which also injured one of the National Republican Guard (GNR) officers.
The UK Foreign Office said it was "in contact with local authorities following an incident in Portugal".
Alfie's basketball club, Sport Club Operario Cem Soldos (SCOCS), paid tribute to him in a post on Facebook.
