An administrative investigation was ordered targeting the police who intervened on Friday at the home of a couple in Sanary-sur-Mer (Var), just a few minutes before the husband, an intoxicated sixty-year-old, killed his wife, announced the Toulon public prosecutor’s office on Saturday February 3.
Friday at 2:30 p.m., a police emergency team arrived at the couple’s home, at the request of the 64-year-old wife. They then observe on the spot “their respective state of alcoholism and the existence of a marital dispute”details the Toulon prosecutor, Samuel Finielz.
The husband “immediately indicates having killed his wife”
While the woman explains that she does not wish to file a complaint, her husband gives her “spontaneously several weapons and ammunition” to the police, weapons he possessed illegally. This couple was until now unknown to the courts. As soon as they left, the police were called back at 4:00 p.m. and they found the woman’s lifeless body. The husband, aged 69, “immediately indicates having killed his wife with a bladed weapon”continues the prosecutor.
“In order to determine whether the rules for intervention and handling of this type of situation were respected, an administrative investigation, parallel to the judicial investigation, was ordered by the interdepartmental police director”, specifies the prosecution. The accused should be referred to him by Sunday with a view to opening a judicial investigation for spousal homicide.
