Nicknamed the “cannibal of Nouillhan”, the man escaped this Wednesday, January 19 at the end of the afternoon from the Marchant hospital in Toulouse. He was arrested around 10 p.m. after assaulting a woman in the heart of the Chalets district. The circumstances of his escape from the hospital remain to be determined. The individual is considered very dangerous. The police have started an intense search to find Jérémy Rimbaud.
The assaulted woman, Françoise, was walking her dog this Wednesday, January 19 in Toulouse. She was beaten with a stick in the heart of the city center. The “cannibal of the Pyrenees” hit him on the head and arms before being overpowered by witnesses. Jérémy Rimbaud was interned in the psychiatric hospital for having killed and eaten the heart and the tongue of a man. He is a very dangerous predator guilty of murder and cannibalism. His few hours of freedom led the “cannibal of the Pyrenees” to satisfy his impulses and savagely attack an unknown person, as the media La Dépêche writes.
Interned since 2013, his state of health is not compatible with normal police custody. That’s why he was placed in a psychiatric hospital. He suffers from intense schizophrenia and suffered post-traumatic shock related to his fighting in Afghanistan. He should never have been released from the hospital. Jérémy Rimbaud is followed very closely. He takes very strict medication. However, this Wednesday, he managed to escape from the hospital, without apparent difficulty. As soon as the announcement of his disappearance from the hospital, the police were contacted. His outing lasts barely a few hours, during which he will subject Françoise to long minutes of fright. If a neighbor hadn’t yelled, he would have finished the job,” said a witness.
