After the discovery of the body of two women on December 23, in Saint-Jory, north of Toulouse, investigators are still asking questions. “It is really a very special case, I have never had a similar file”, confides a source to France Bleu Occitanie. It must be said that a man was found at their side, in a state of shock.

The thesis of undernutrition

This 63-year-old man, almost blind, was a magnetizer who has just stopped this activity for a short time. In the house lay his 91-year-old mother, dead “for many months”, specifies the Toulouse prosecutor’s office to France Bleu Occitanie, and his wife, 66, was “passed away a few days”. An autopsy was performed at the beginning of the week.

No trace of blows or services has been raised, but the prosecution has requested hair analyzes complementary to completely rule out the thesis of poisoning, privileged for the moment that of a undernutrition, that is to say an insufficient food and especially not adapted to the needs of the body. “The wife had been seen a few weeks before, not in good health”, indicates the floor.

Religious fervor

“These people can be marginal, with a very strong religious fervor”, specifies a source. The man, currently in the care of an organization that hosts him, will have to engage in a psychiatric expertise. When the police arrived on December 23, he was in a state of shock. He had specified that his companion had just died, while she had been dead for several days according to the results of the autopsy.

The gendarmes of the Toulouse Saint-Michel company are in charge of the investigation.
