The treatments were not enough. A 25-year-old man died at Purpan hospital several days after being seriously injured by a stab wound to the throat on Monday March 21 in Toulouse. The individual suspected of this violence, identified after the first likely investigations by the departmental security, has not yet been arrested by the investigators of the qualified persons unit. Specialized police officers who are also calling for witnesses.
The attack took place in the district of Papus, in Toulouse, at the end of the day on Monday March 21 shortly before 6 p.m. When he came to get into a car with a young woman, the driver found himself blocked by a Renault Clio. The man driving this vehicle would then have got out very quickly and he would have stabbed the victim’s upper body at least once before fleeing. The emergency services were quickly alerted and the firefighters, with the support of a team from Smur 31, medicalized the victim before evacuating him urgently. Despite the care, this boy did not survive.
Call for witnesses
The main suspect, ex-boyfriend of the young woman who is in the victim’s car, has since been untraceable. And the reasons for his action remain uncertain. Did he act out of jealousy after losing his partner’s affection? Or did he want revenge after being violently beaten several weeks ago? By the victim? In any case, several people would have violently taken him to task and he had also filed a complaint.
The prosecution has opened a judicial investigation for “intentional homicide”.
And to progress in their work, at the request of the investigating judge, the investigators of the qualified persons unit are seeking to clarify the circumstances of the attack on Monday, March 21. Witnesses must quickly contact the investigation service by calling 05 61 12 76 32 or 05 61 12 75 82 during the day. Outside of urgent hours, witnesses can also call 06 61 12 77 77.
