Two Charged Over Alvor Killing
A teenager and another male have appeared in court in Portugal charged in connection with the death of a Londonderry businessman in the Algarve earlier this month.
The accused, aged 19 and 26 and from Brazil, were charged with homicide and robbery.
The 26-year-old was remanded in custody while the 19-year-old was placed under partial house arrest.
Paul Houston, 51, died after being attacked in Alvor while walking back to his accommodation on 6 September.
Mr Houston was originally from Donegal and ran a shoe business in Derry.
Earlier this week, thousands of mourners attended the funeral of Mr Houston at St Mary's Church in Ballybrack, Co Donegal.
It was so full that the service had to be relayed outside to the hundreds of people unable to fit in the church.
