British tourist, 29, who was arrested and extradited to Portugal two years after teenager was killed 'in bottle attack' is a banking executive - and now faces decades in foreign prison
A British banking executive could spend the rest of his life behind bars in a Portuguese prison after being extradited following the horrific killing of a teenager with a broken bottle in Lisbon. Daniel Dunbar, who is set to be tried by Portuguese officials over the death of Daniel Galhanas in 2023, has been working in the Investor Management Department at the Royal Bank of Canada, The Sun reports. This is the first time rugby-playing 29-year-old, from Bexleyheath, Kent, has been named by authorities following a two-year-long manhunt. Teen Galhanas died after being stabbed in the neck with the sharp glass object in the early hours of October 14 2023. Dunbar was forced on a flight back to Portugal and remanded in custody after failed appeals against his return. It is said the attack against the 19-year-old victim occurred in Lisbon's Bairro Alto neighbourhood. Initial reports suggest he was targeted while trying to defend a friend who was part of a gang of thieves that tried to rob the suspected killer and his friends. The stabbing victim was first identified as one of the gang members who attacked the group, allegedly British tourists, in the Portuguese capital. Family members have denied Daniel was involved with the gang and said he was only trying to help his friend. According to the family, one of the tourists threw a bottle at Daniel's friend after the group was approached. The bottle broke and the unnamed suspect picked up the smashed bottle, using it to slash at Daniel, who had come between the group and his friend. A horrifying video shows the moment the male tourist launches a bottle at Daniel's friend before stabbing the victim, who then stumbles and collapses in a pool of blood in the street. The group of tourists are then seen running away. Daniel went into cardiac arrest and was taken alive to São José Hospital after being found by volunteer firefighters - but did not survive his injuries. Video footage from above the street shows about a dozen people clashing in the road as cars pass at the intersection of Calçada do Combro and Largo do Calhariz. Police say the gang targets foreign tourists on weekend evenings as they walk through the city after a night out. Confirming the arrest and extradition, Portugal's police force said: 'The Policia Judiciaria, with the collaboration of the police and judicial authorities of the United Kingdom, located, arrested and extradited to Portugal a 27-year-old man who is strongly suspected of committing a first degree murder.' They added: 'The crime took place in the early hours of 14 October, 2023, between 4am and 5am, following an altercation between two rival groups. 'The victim ended up being hit in the neck with a broken glass bottle, which caused serious injuries and led to his death on the spot. 'After the incident, both the suspect and the other members of his group fled the scene. 'Investigative work carried out by the PJ's Lisbon and Tagus Valley Directorate, which is leading the investigation, led to the identification of the suspected perpetrator and the issuing of an international arrest warrant. 'The suspect, a foreign national, was eventually located and arrested in the United Kingdom, where he travelled to the day after the murder. 'After being brought before judicial authorities in Portugal, he was remanded in pre-trial custody.'

Brit, 29, extradited to Portugal over broken bottle murder of teen on Lisbon street is banker who faces 25yrs in prison
A BRITISH banking executive is facing a life term in a Portuguese jail after being extradited over the horrific broken bottle murder of a teenager in Lisbon. Daniel Dunbar, 29, has lost a battle against a police bid to haul him back to the Portuguese capital to face trial over the brutal street killing in October, 2023. 5 5 5 Authorities had not released the identity of the Brit they were seeking following an 18-month manhunt. But The Sun can today reveal he is Dunbar, who has been working in the Investor Management Department at the Royal Bank of Canada in a role "centred on legal compliance." Rugby-playing Dunbar, from Bexleyheath, Kent, faces trial over the murder of Daniel Galhanas, 19, who was stabbed in the neck with the broken bottle, Shocking video shows the horror in Lisbon 's trendy Bairro Alto neighbourhood in the early hours of October 14 2023. Portuguese sources said the victim was targeted while trying to defend a friend, who was alleged to be one of a gang of muggers from Lisbon's 'Sintra Line Gang'. They were reported to have tried to rob the group of British tourists Dunbar was with. The victim's family has since denied he was linked to the gang. Dunbar was hit by a bottle thrown by the gang but is alleged to have picked up the smashed glass and used it to slash the Portuguese teenager The video, filmed from above the street, shows about a dozen people clashing in the road as cars pass at the intersection of Calçada do Combro and Largo do Calhariz. Grisly footage shows Daniel Galhardas being stabbed in the neck and collapsing in a pool of blood before the Brits flee. District Judge David Robinson, who refers to Dunbar as 'RP' - short for 'Requested Person' - in his judgement said: 'The RP together with seven named others became involved in a verbal confrontation with a group of individuals that included the deceased, Daniel Galhardas. British prisoner Mark Roscaleer is finally captured after escaping jail in Portugal "The RP was struck on the head with a bottle by one of Mr Galhardas's group. He left the scene but returned immediately afterwards, concealing a broken glass bottle in his left hand. "The RP approached Mr Galhardas and struck him on the neck causing Mr Galhardasto suffer lacerations to his jugular vein and carotid artery which resulted in his death. "It is an accusation warrant seeking the surrender of the RP for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution for an offence of murder." The warrant said the maximum jail sentence for the homicide offence alleged ranges from 12 years to a 25 year life term. The court was told at the time of his arrest, Dunbar 'lived in privately rented accommodation in London and worked for the Investor Management Department at the Royal Bank of Canada.' His role "centred on legal compliance." Companies House records show the city whiz kid previously ran his own company called Dunbar Eight Limited, when he described himself as a financial advisor. The court heard that Dunbar has a conviction in the UK from 2022 for drink driving. 5 5 Dunbar contested extradition claiming that he was suffering from PTSD, was a suicide risk and was mentally unstable after suffering a series of injuries while playing rugby. The judgement said: "He used to play rugby but stopped playing in 2023 due to experiencing repeated concussions. "In 2019 he attended Queen Mary's Hospital in Woolwich because he was exhibiting strange behaviours upon his return from a rugby trip, and he was assessed by mental health professionals. "He is not taking any medication but has struggled to sleep in prison and had suicidal thoughts since the trip to Portugal in October 2023. "He fears being killed in a Portuguese prison by inmates or by government involvement." Judge Robinson ruled Dunbar should be extradited in March but he was only flown to Portugal last week. He is now in the custody of Lisbon's Judicial Police awaiting trial. Dunbar was arrested in London eight months after the murder and has been in custody in the UK while the extradition case was thrashed out. His lawyer Ben Cooper KC, argued extradition would breach his human rights owing to unfit and unsafe jail condition which increased his risk of being being attacked or committing suicide. But Judge Robinson ordered him to be sent back and referred to his high-powered bank job in his judgement. His ruling said: "Immediately prior to the RP's arrest he was living independently and working in a responsible position for a bank. "In my judgment, the circumstances do not come close to being such that the requested person's extradition would be oppressive on account of his mental condition. "On arrival in prison, the RP was assessed to be mentally stable. 'Plainly being accused of murder, remanded in custody and facing extradition to Portugal has caused the RP to experience stress and hardship. 'His extradition will no doubt cause further such stress and hardship. 'However, the current state of his mental health is that his depressive episode is likely of moderate intensity, and the RP is not taking any medication in respect of it. "I am satisfied that the RP's extradition would not be disproportionate." Portugal's Judicial Police said: "The Policia Judiciaria, with the collaboration of the police and judicial authorities of the United Kingdom, located, arrested and extradited to Portugal a man who is strongly suspected of committing a first degree murder. 'He was remanded in pre-trial custody.' Dunbar was last night in 'preventive detention' in a prison attached to the police headquarters in central Lisbon. A trial will be held on a date to be fixed. The Royal bank of Canada declined to comment.
