The facts took place late Friday evening in a house on rue Paul Janson in Souvret, in the entity of Courcelles. This is where Jérôme, 24, is staying with his stepfather and his mother, in a working-class neighborhood.
The argument turned to physical confrontation between the two men: “My stepfather went to get an axe. I got scared, it was him or me. So I took a knife and hit him,” he admitted. Arrested following the fact, Jérôme was presented on Saturday to an examining magistrate who charged him with attempted murder and placed him under an arrest warrant.
