She wanted to get rid of the “controlled” relationship in which she had been locked up. Salomé Garnesson paid for it with her life. This Wednesday afternoon before the Assize Court of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Advocate General requested life imprisonment for Amin Mimouni, accused of beating to death his companion who had just told him that she was leaving him.
It was a night in August 2019 in Cagnes-sur-Mer. After nine chaotic months, during which the 21-year-old young woman will have gradually been “erased”, removed from her loved ones, according to the various witnesses who have succeeded each other at the helm since Monday.
“His anger and his hatred are intact”
“He killed her because he saw that she was free again, because he was losing control over her”, underlined the representative of the public prosecutor’s office, taking up the words of Salomé Garnesson’s father-in-law, spoken earlier in the morning.
“Amin Mimouni has, since the events, expressed no empathy for the victim. His anger and his hatred are intact. And if it does not present a dangerousness at the psychiatric level, according to the experts, it is indeed the case in the criminological and social sense ”, also supported Fabien Cézanne, claiming that the sentence which will be imposed on the accused be accompanied by a security period of 22 years. The verdict is expected on Thursday.
