The Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti and the Minister in charge of Citizenship Marlène Schiappa announced on Wednesday the establishment of an inspection mission concerning the feminicide of Hayange, which took place in Moselle, last weekend.
“We decided to seize the General Inspectorate of Administration and the General Inspectorate of Justice so that an operational inspection mission is carried out to shed light on the terrible feminicide of Hayange”, wrote Gérald Darmanin on Twitter. The announcement comes a few hours after LR president of the Grand Est region, Jean Rottner, called for “an administrative investigation” into this crime.

Dysfunction of judicial services?
During the night from Sunday to Monday, a 22-year-old young woman was stabbed to death in the middle of the street in Hayange. Shortly after, her 23-year-old husband, a Serb political refugee, suspected of being the perpetrator, was arrested.
Tuesday the public prosecutor of Metz refuted any “dysfunction of the judicial services”, and argued that the prosecution had not been notified of complaints by the young woman against her violent spouse.
An inspection mission also for femicide in Mérignac
This is the second time in less than a month that the Keeper of the Seals, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister Delegate for Citizenship, have decided on an inspection mission after a feminicide. This was the case after a man, convicted of domestic violence, set his wife on fire in the middle of the street in Mérignac, after shooting her in the legs so that she fell to the ground in early May.
The mission then commissioned and whose conclusions will be made public on June 10, denounced on May 12 in its report “a series of failures” of the various stakeholders (police, justice, prison administration etc.).
