The incident took place around 6 p.m. Saturday at a hostel on Rua Frei Francisco Foreiro. The couple moved to the Portuguese capital more than a year ago, where they worked for a call center. The two lived in a hostel, but were said to have been evicted there on Saturday after repeated complaints about noise and smoke. That eviction escalated into a quarrel and an outburst of violence, Portuguese media described.
