27-year-old Filipe Carlos de Andrade stabbed his 23-year-old girlfriend Cátia de Pina on Tuesday night, July 21, in the village of Ribeira Ilhéu in the municipality of Mosteiros (on the island of Fogo). After gravely wounding his companion, Andrade fled and committed suicide. Cátia de Pina sustained injuries on various parts of her body and was taken to Fogo and Brava Regional Hospital in São Filipe before being evacuated to Praia, where she is considered to be in stable condition. Jealousy appears to lie at the origin of the tragedy, which has left the population of Mosteiros in shock. The couple have two children. Police in Mosteiros were familiar with Andrade, who recently spent time in prison after being convicted of drug trafficking and gender-based violence.
