After finding a 60-year-old woman who died at her home in Gradignan (Gironde), a young man suspected of having killed her was brought before a judge for an indictment for murder, this Saturday July 16.
A grim affair. A 22-year-old man is suspected of having killed a sixty-year-old in the town of Gradignan, located south of Bordeaux.
An autopsy carried out this Friday made it possible to determine according to the first results, that the victim died between 72 and 96 hours before the discovery of his body. In addition, the 60-year-old woman had “three to four deep wounds” inflicted by stabbing on the “back and neck”.
After the opening of an investigation, the suspicions of the judicial police of Bordeaux very quickly turned towards the young man who resides “near the scene of the tragedy”.
On the morning of July 14, the young resident was arrested and then placed in police custody, constantly denying the facts, before finally “acknowledging his presence at the crime scene”.
This is not his first run-in with the justicesince the suspect in this case is already known to the police for having stolen two vehicles and a bank card from an individual, as well as “for using a falsified payment instrument”, indicated the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office.
