Alfie Hallett’s local basketball club paid tribute to him<\/p>\n
Tributes have been paid to a 13-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in central Portugal on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The boy, named locally as British national Alfie Hallett, died in the parish of Casais in Tomar after being found with “several injuries caused by a bladed weapon”. <\/p>\n
According to Portuguese police a suspect was found with similar injuries and died in a possible gas explosion, which also injured one of the National Republican Guard (GNR) officers.<\/p>\n
The UK Foreign Office said it was “in contact with local authorities following an incident in Portugal”.<\/p>\n
Alfie’s basketball club, Sport Club Operario Cem Soldos (SCOCS), paid tribute to him in a post on Facebook.<\/p>\n
“SCOCS BASKETBALL has just become poorer today,” it said. “Our athlete Alfie passed away today at the age of 13.<\/p>\n
“He played his last game on Saturday, played so well that it seemed like he knew it was his last game but far from imagining it.<\/p>\n
“We want to tell you how much we love you and that you will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace.”<\/p>\n
Police said the mother was found by authorities showing signs of having been restrained and assaulted.<\/p>\n
She was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for her injuries, police added.<\/p>\n
“The alleged perpetrator had already served a prison sentence for aggravated homicide, and the family had been flagged following domestic violence cases registered in 2022 and 2023,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Portuguese TV news channel SIC Not\u00edcias reported that the mother and child are British.<\/p>\n
However, it is reported the suspect was a Portuguese citizen.<\/p>\n
The Criminal Investigation Department of Leiria is leading the investigation into the two deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SCOCS – Basquetebol Alfie Hallett’s local basketball club paid tribute to him Tributes have been paid to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":366135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-366134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=366134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
