The magazine Here reveals the testimony of a close friend of the farmer. The latter reveals that the man was living in a very complicated situation.
According to the magazine’s source, Jean-Claude Joly was financially strangled.
He had fallen into depression because he might not make ends meet and meet the needs of his family: “Once all his expenses were paid, he only had 100 euros left per month”, confides the relative.
“He fought for years to keep his head above water but he mightn’t make it, he was exhausted,” he said.
