His confession logically led to legal proceedings. The husband of Assia Matoug, Youcef, whose dismembered body was discovered on February 13, in the Buttes-Chaumont park, in Paris, was indicted for murder on a spouse this Saturday, after having confessed the day before is to the origin of the death of his wife,” his lawyer, Dominique Beyreuther-Minkov, told BFMTV.
He had been placed in police custody on Thursday as part of an investigation for “murder, attack on the integrity of a corpse and concealment of a corpse” opened on February 17. The suspect had reported the disappearance of his wife to the police on February 6, while on social networks he had mentioned it on January 31.
Assia Matoug was a 46-year-old woman from Montreuil, in Seine-Saint-Denis. On February 13, at the beginning of the afternoon, a plastic bag containing the pelvis and thighs of this woman was discovered under a pile of green waste in Buttes-Chaumont by municipal parks and gardens agents. The woman was still dressed in “blue jeans” with a “floral decoration” at the thigh, according to a police source.
