Cape Verde’s National Police has arrested three people suspected of homicide in the Santiago Norte and Santiago Sul regions. The cases involve family, neighbourhood and friendship disputes, prompting police to call for tolerance and the peaceful resolution of disagreements, according to Expresso das Ilhas.

Three people have been arrested in Cape Verde in separate cases of homicide or violence linked to personal conflicts. A suspect was detained in Santiago Norte after an alleged homicide at a family home involving two brothers, while two others were arrested in Santiago Sul, according to the Cape Verdean National Police, cited by Expresso das Ilhas.

In Santiago Sul, the first arrest concerned a dispute between neighbours and the second a disagreement between two friends over a small sum of money. The National Police described the incidents as impulsive acts that are difficult to anticipate using traditional prevention mechanisms, according to Expresso das Ilhas.
