The ex-boyfriend of Conceição Figueiredo, who had been missing for two weeks, has been arrested in connection with her murder.
Jair Pereira, the 54-year-old suspect in the murder of Conceição Figueiredo, was detained by the GNR in the locality of Cercal. Figueiredo, 69, was found dead in a wooded area in Oliveira do Bairro a week after her disappearance on May 18. She was last seen with Pereira at a dance club.
Key developments in the case:
- Pereira had been missing since Figueiredo's disappearance.
- He allegedly called a friend admitting to leaving Figueiredo alive in a wooded area, later confessing to her murder.

Pereira is now being handed over to the Polícia Judiciária, which is handling the investigation.
