A British plumber is set to stand trial in Portugal over the fatal stabbing of another man from the UK at a music festival . Portuguese police said the unnamed 37-year-old had been lured to a secluded area away from the Mad Hatter's Tea Party festival, a small event being held in Pedrogao Grande in central Portugal last September.The victim was stabbed "with exceptional violence" and someone had tried to cover up his body with leaves and branches, officers said.
"Authorities have requested that Menkens be moved to a psychiatric facility while he awaits trial.Some witnesses have reported that he had taken "hard drugs" during the festival.A motive of the attack has proved elusive: Menkens did not know the victim, who lived in the UK, and they only met each other when he came to Portugal for the event.Menkens' father said in September that his son did not have any obvious mental health problems and was a "genuine, caring guy".
