British family will not face charges for asphyxiating burglar

6232The Public Prosecutor’s Office has closed the investigation into the death of a recidivist burglar in September 2015. Paulo Brito died after breaking in to Trevor and Jill Taylor’s Vilamoura property in 2015, being tackled by Trevor and his son Scott, and being held in a neck-lock until the GNR showed up.

The prosecutor “concludes that the death was by asphyxiation caused by two British household dwellers, father and son, but that both acted in self-defence”, reads a note on the website of the Faro District Attorney’s Office.
