Two brothers, aged 22 and 25, were involved in a stabbing incident on Saturday, due to a dispute over a piece of land at the Boavista site, Quelfes near Olhão.
According to Portuguese TV channel TVI, the older brother stabbed his brother in the chest with a 13 centimetre long knife, resulting in the victim being transported in a serious condition to Faro Hospital, where he is hospitalised. The Judiciary Police were also called to the scene of the incident, to carry out various investigations.
The knife used in the crime was seized by authorities, but the assailant, who was also transported to the same hospital as his brother but with minor injuries, ended up escaping and is still being sought by the GNR.
