Corinne Langlois was attacked with a knife five years ago by the man suspected of having killed a nurse on Monday May 22 at the CHU de Reims.
“I’ll never get over it”, testifies Corinne Langlois, head of service in Esat in Besançon, injured with a knife in June 2017 by the same man suspected of having killed a nurse on Monday May 22 at the Reims University Hospital.
She testified Tuesday, May 30 on France Bleu Besançon. Franck F., a 59-year-old from Rémois, suffers from psychiatric disorders. He was indicted for “assassination” And “assassination attempt”suspected of having killed a nurse, Carène Mezino, 37, and injured a secretary for “get revenge” of “hospital staff”. His lawyer speaks of a sick man, for whom the question of criminal irresponsibility arises.
Attacked with a knife five years ago
Five years earlier, he attacked with a knife Corinne Langlois, at the time head of the service of the Establishment and service of help through work (ESAT) in the Marne. She was injured like three other colleagues. She now lives in Haute-Saône and is struggling to recover from this attack.
“It’s been very difficult for us to live since, we’ve survived. I was already struggling to recover from it before, but there with the death of Carène Mezino, I’ll never recover.”

Corinne Langlois denounces the “lack of means in psychiatry”. She also wonders about the diagnosis of criminal irresponsibility of the murderer. “His psychiatrist thought he was stabilized, he wasn’t since he acted out, it’s incomprehensible, she relates. If I had not made the request for a new expertise, the case would have been dismissed. A first time he was recognized as irresponsible for his acts, with the counter-expertise, partly irresponsible and with the new expertise again irresponsible, the psychiatrists do not even make the same diagnosis. We really need to review the support for these people.”
After the drama in Reims, Corinne Langlois feels “Very great anger and incomprehension. Our fear was that he would start again. After the events, he was for more than a year in UMD, in a unit for difficult patients. He was against treatment, in anger against psychiatry, [selon lui] psychiatry had destroyed his life, he was out of care. And no one at any level had noticed. What happened was for nothing.”
