The Judicial Police (PJ) have arrested two men, aged 41 and 45, suspected of murdering a 40-year-old homeless man in Ponta Delgada, Azores, while under the influence of synthetic substances. A third suspect is still at large.

Details of the Incident

According to the PJ, the alleged qualified homicide occurred on Wednesday morning. The victim was with the three aggressors in a publicly restricted area, illegally occupied by homeless individuals, where they consumed synthetic substances the night before the crime.

Motive Behind the Attack
