The 60-year-old man who presented himself to the police on Saturday before the police found the body of his ex-girlfriend in the trunk of a car, in Nice, was indicted and imprisoned in the evening, confirms this Tuesday morning the public prosecutor of Nice.
Monday afternoon, Xavier Bonhomme had already announced the opening of a judicial investigation for “murder”. “The person concerned admits at this stage of the proceedings having strangled the victim following an argument, the reasons for which have yet to be established precisely. These facts are in any event in the wake of a marital separation that took place during the spring of 2021 “, he had then specified.
The prosecution had requested a warrant of committal “in particular to appease the exceptional disturbance caused by the offense thus alleged”. This feminicide is the third of the year. On January 1 already two women, aged 27 and 56, had been stabbed to death in Maine-et-Loire and Meurthe-et-Moselle.
