“I killed my wife, come quickly.” On October 25, 2018, a 22-year-old man called the police to alert them. He has just beaten up his wife, in their apartment, in Mandeure, before going abroad with the help of an electric cable. All in front of their 13 month old daughter. It is this Monday morning that the trial of this feminicide begins.
One of the issues in the trial will revolve around premeditation. The civil party claims that there were signs before the murder, including threatening messages. According to her, Adelissa should have been protected. On the defense side, we are talking about an isolated act that ended tragically.
A trial to determine the intentionality of the murder
The trial will have to determine whether the accused intended to kill before the act. He will also discuss the prevention of feminicides when there are warning messages, as was the case for Adelissa, according to the family lawyer. The verdict was to take place on Tuesday evening.
The death of the young woman had caused a huge stir in the country of Montbéliard where a white march and a collection for the couple’s daughter had been organized.
