PJ police have arrested three men suspected of beating 35-year-old Albufeira barman and father-of-one Paulo di Santo to death last month.
The attack happened in the early hours of September 3 and left the victim with devastating head injuries. He died five days later at Faro Hospital.
PJ said on Wednesday that the three detained – all aged between 22 and 24 – were due to be heard in court.
