A 71-year-old man was beaten to death with a wooden pole at his home in Barrô, in the municipality of Águeda, on 20 July 2025. His body was found two days later. According to the prosecution, the two men met on the road in front of the house and drank a beer together before the attacker struck the victim repeatedly, notably to the head. Investigators found the victim's phone and house keys missing and the access gate locked from the outside, and concluded that the perpetrator had made sure the victim could neither call for help nor leave. DNA and fingerprints on a beer bottle, and biological traces on a wooden pole recovered from the yard, matched the man later arrested. He was detained in October 2025 and held in pre-trial custody, and on 29 July 2026 the court in Aveiro convicted him of aggravated homicide and sentenced him to 16 years and six months in prison.
