Femicide and suicide in Trofa, Portugal

Overview

In Trofa, Portugal, a man identified as Manuel Pereira shot his ex-partner, Noémia, in the head before committing suicide. The incident took place in Muro after the victim was surprised by the man at her residence.

Records indicate that in March 2025, the Santo Tirso Court had acquitted Pereira of domestic violence charges involving the same victim. The court had previously cited contradictory versions of events and applied the ‘in dubio pro reo’ principle, determining there was insufficient justification to grant more credibility to the woman’s testimony than to the defendant’s.
