Lisbon - One of the heroes of Portugal's 1974 revolution, Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho, will stand trial again next month over his alleged involvement in killings by a shadowy left-wing group in the 1980s, court sources said yesterday.

Saraiva de Carvalho, a mastermind of the armed forces' revolt which ended four decades of right-wing dictatorship, has already been convicted on other charges stemming from the activities of the FP-25 guerrilla group.
