It is a rather singular family conflict which was judged Tuesday before the correctional court of Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine), as reported West France. A 59-year-old priest was being prosecuted for breaking into his mother’s home. Aged 84, the latter, a widow, lives in a house in Dinard. Between the mother and her son, relations had until then been cordial. Until September 2022, when the old lady, who moves in a wheelchair, overheard a conversation from her son who wanted to put her under curatorship.
A conflict then broke out between the two on the background of the management of the family patrimony. No longer wanting her son to enter her home, the octogenarian took the lead in early March by changing all the locks in her house. The latter will still take advantage of the arrival of a nurse on the evening of March 5 to break into his mother’s house before the police intervene. At the end of the hearing, the priest was sentenced and banned from appearing at his mother’s home and from contacting her for three years.
