British boy, 13, stabbed to death in Portugal before house blown up in gas explosion
"Authorities found the teenager and the suspected attacker suffering from multiple stab wounds after receiving a domestic violence report in a home in Casais, in the Tomar municipality. Moments after arriving at the scene, a suspected gas explosion tore through the house, believed to have been deliberately caused by the attacker, injuring one officer in the process. The teenager was found in cardiorespiratory arrest and pronounced dead at the scene."
"The suspect had already served time for aggravated homicide, police said, and had been the subject of domestic abuse complaints dating back to 2022. Luis Freire, who is the president of the local parish council, told Portuguese media that the domestic case had already been flagged by authorities due to previous episodes of domestic violence. He stressed it was a complicated situation, which the GNR (National Republican Guard) was already aware of."
