Toulouse: prison closed after driving into his sister and threatening her with a knife
The violence had gone crescendo. A brother was condemned for having made his sister live a real hell in the Minimes district. It had to be stopped by the RAID. He has just been sentenced to 18 months in prison, 12 of which are suspended.
The case had reason to ask questions about the dangerousness of the defendant. A few weeks ago, this 31-year-old Toulousain had access to frightening violence against his sister. He had initially degraded the door of the accommodation of the latter who lives in the Minimes district, he then tried to crush her with his car, he had finally succeeded with a knife before hitting her several times. ! Witnesses had managed to neutralize him and put an end to the attack. He kept going after her, flooding her with hateful messages and death threats. At the origin of this delirious hatred, a simple family conflict.
Given the risks, the RAID had to be commissioned to arrest him. He appeared on Monday February 7 before the Toulouse Criminal Court to answer all of his actions.
“It went too far for utilities”
Faced with the Toulouse judges, he indicated that he “regret enormously” his ultraviolent outbursts: “It’s on the nerves. I realized the gravity of my actions. It’s gone too far for trivialities. I hurt my whole family.”
Called to testify, her sister said she loved her brother but wanted “everyone to live their lives on their own”. The defendant’s contrite behavior challenged the prosecutor who highlighted during his speeches: ” When you read the 30 pages of threats and insults, you think the worst was to be feared. What a contrast between the man we have in front of us today and the facts of which he is accused. He is married, with two children, works for his family “.
The magistrate requested the sentence of 18 months of imprisonment, 12 of which were accompanied by a suspended probation arranged under an electronic bracelet. This is the sentence to which he was sentenced by the court. He has the obligation to undertake psychiatric care and the prohibition to come into contact with his sister.
