The police custody of two suspects in the murder of a 45-year-old woman, whose body was found in the trunk of a car on Saturday evening in Nice, have been extended by 24 hours, France Bleu Azur indicates Sunday, January 2. They are the companion, or ex-companion, of the victim, aged 60, and one of her three sons, aged 24, and owner of the vehicle in which the woman was found.
According to the first elements of the investigation, the victim was killed by strangulation. The deputy prosecutor specifies that his companion, or ex-companion, came to the police to report an argument, but he said he did not know at that time in what condition his wife was. He then led investigators to the body.
Devastated after the discovery, to # Nice06, of the body of a woman who was allegedly killed by her ex-boyfriend. I want to denounce the horror of this assassination. My thoughts are with the children, family and loved ones of the victim who was an officer in our community.
