A 13-year-old British boy was tragically killed in Portugal by his mother’s former partner, who also died in what authorities suspect was a murder-suicide attempt. The victim, Alfie Hallett, received heartfelt tributes from his basketball club, praising his exceptional performance in what turned out to be his final game.
Alfie’s untimely death has deeply saddened the local community and the basketball associations where he was actively involved. The perpetrator, identified as 43-year-old Goncalo Carvalho, had a criminal history and was previously imprisoned for a violent crime. The incident, which took place in the parish of Casais in Tomar, is currently under investigation by the Portuguese authorities.
Neighbors revealed that Carvalho had displayed obsessive behavior, often parking outside Alfie’s residence. Despite the separation between Alfie’s mother and Carvalho, they were seen together just days before the tragic events unfolded. Police suspect that Carvalho fatally stabbed Alfie, injured the mother, and caused an explosion in their home before taking his own life.
Alfie’s mother, who managed to free herself after being bound, was hospitalized for her injuries. The local basketball community expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Alfie, emphasizing his talent and the impact he had on the team. The tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning the loss of a young life.
