PSP agent fatally shot robbery and kidnapping suspect with his service weapon.
The General Inspectorate of Internal Administration (IGAI) opened a case against the PSP agent who killed a robbery and kidnapping suspect. A SATURDAYan official source indicated that “a process was opened to investigate the circumstances in which a firearm was used, resulting in death.”
In the early hours of Monday, a PSP agent fatally shot a robbery and kidnapping suspect with his service weapon, inside his home, in Benfica. Another suspect was detained.
The case is being investigated by the Judiciary Police. According to the report made to the PJ, the agent was approached by an armed man, on the public road, when he was in his private vehicle stopped at traffic lights in the Algés area, in the neighboring municipality of Oeiras.
The suspect, according to a PJ source, forced the agent to drive to an open area where the detained woman joined him and the two forced him to drive the vehicle to her house.
Already at his residence, in Benfica, the policeman managed to reach his service weapon and fatally shot the man, while the woman, who was waiting for him outside, ended up detained by the PSP.
A source from the Lisbon Metropolitan Command (Cometlis) of the PSP previously told Lusa that the agent was approached by a couple at around 3:30 am in Algés and, under threat of a firearm, was forced to go to the ATM and, later, to House.
