A woman stabbed several times by her companion in Monaco, the alleged perpetrator arrested in France
The two police cars, parked this Sunday afternoon at the foot of the building Mandarins, at 42 ter boulevard du Jardin Exotique, catch the eye of onlookers. What happened in this peaceful residence in the Moneghetti district?
The same morning, a 34-year-old Monegasque repeatedly stabbed his 24-year-old companion, also of Monegasque nationality.
Rescued by the firefighters and the SMUR of Monaco and transported to the Princess Grace Hospital Center, she was admitted to the intensive care unit. His vital prognosis would not be engaged.
An open judicial inquiry
After fleeing the state apartment, in which they had been living together for two years, the alleged perpetrator was arrested, driving a car, north of Menton near the A8, by the soldiers of the group of gendarmerie of the Alpes-Maritimes who held a checkpoint.
As he was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by a Monegasque investigating judge, the individual was placed in detention and will be brought before a magistrate. He has also been the subject of toxicological and alcohol tests, do not ignore the results yet.
The public prosecutor’s office of Monaco, therefore, was seized of the facts and opened a judicial investigation for “attempted homicide”. Via a rogatory commission, the investigating judge designated the investigation to the direction of the Public Security.
Extradition procedure
Investigators from the Judicial Police Division have already carried out a neighborhood survey.
Not having been able to hear the victim, nor his attacker, the Monegasque police officers do not know for the moment what pushed this man to such an act.
An extradition procedure will be initiated by the Principality of Monaco in order to allow the Monegasque justice to continue the investigations in the presence of the person concerned.
