Supreme Court upholds 12-year prison sentence for the murder of a homeless person in Lisbon

The Supreme Court upheld a 12-year prison sentence for a homeless man convicted of murdering another homeless individual in Lisbon. The crime was triggered by a dispute over a borrowed mobile phone. The victim was fatally stabbed after the assailant burned part of the bedding in the victim's tent. The incident occurred on May 3, 2025, in an abandoned building. The court's decision confirmed the initial ruling from July, rejecting an appeal from the Public Prosecutor's Office.
