Two more police officers claim to have seen a knife near Odair Moniz's body

Two additional PSP officers testified in court this Wednesday, March 11, that they saw a knife near the body of Odair Moniz, who was killed by a police officer in Amadora in 2024, adding that they did not mention it to anyone at the time. André Silva, who arrived at the Cova da Moura neighbourhood after Bruno Pinto—the officer currently on trial for homicide—had shot the Cape Verdean citizen twice, stated that the priority was to save a life. The officer noted the knife had a black handle but could not specify its size or blade type. Another officer corroborated this account, though she could not confirm if the object she saw was the same one seized as evidence. Witnesses have previously stated that Moniz was unarmed when killed. The trial continues on March 25, 2026, at the Sintra Central Criminal Court, with Bruno Pinto facing a potential sentence of eight to 16 years in prison.
