Algarve kidnapping and murder trial begins today
The Court of Portimão will start the hearing of two young women suspected of having kidnapped and killed a young man, before then dismembering his body in March 2020
The defendants, a nurse and a security guard, are accused by the Public Ministry (MP) of the crimes of qualified homicide, desecration of a human corpse, two crimes of illegitimate access, one of computer fraud, simple theft and use of a vehicle.
According to the indictment, the women attracted Diogo Gonçalves, 21, to the home of one of them, where they kept him captive in order to extort money from him, since he had received €70,000 in compensation following the death of his mother, who had been the victim of a hit run in the Albufeira area in 2016.
