The alleged Machico Murderer, who was arrested after his mother was found dead with horrific wounds, has been discharged from the Casa de Saúde São João de Deus, where he was hospitalised for specialised monitoring, and is in detention.
As DIÁRIO previously reported, the man was found by the Judiciary Police on the 27th of March at his mother’s home, after being on the run for four days. During that time, it was believed that he may have committed suicide as he managed to evade dogs and drones. The suspect, who has a history of hospitalisation for mental health reasons, was eventually located and detained.
After his arrest, he was sent to the Casa de Saúde São João de Deus on the 28th of March for psychiatric evaluation.
The Judiciary Police are processing organic matter found on a dumbbell, believed to weigh around 15 kilos. Authorities believe it could have been one of the weapons involved in the crime.
The case dates back to the 23rd of March, when the suspect killed his mother inside a residence located in the parish of Água de Pena, in the municipality of Machico.
