Man stabbed on stag do and left for dead in Portugal still waiting for answers

Two months after being stabbed on a stag do in Portugal a 33-year-old father is still unable to work and no closer to getting any answers. Alex Evans was “left for dead” for around an hour between some cars and a rubbish bin in a street in Albufeira, a popular resort in the Algarve, on May 15.

Evans has no recollection of the attack itself but when he woke up in hospital he was told he’d been robbed and knifed three times in the stomach. Unable to stop his liver bleeding doctors rushed Alex to intensive care where he spent two days before a further eight days in Faro hospital.

Meanwhile his distraught mum and dad drove from their home in Treherbert, Wales, to London desperately hoping they could get a flight out to Portugal and get to their son’s bedside. Alex’s mum, Bev Evans, has described the moment she waited for her son after he was discharged from the Portuguese hospital.
