INFO LA DEPECHE. Toulouse: a woman found dead in her garage, the prosecution opens a homicide investigation
Anne-Marie, 84, was discovered dead in her garage on Sunday. The prosecution has decided to open a homicide investigation. The investigations are entrusted to the judicial police.
A dozen police officers are active this Sunday afternoon rue Larbroust in Toulouse. A medical examiner and a PJ investigator enter and exit the garage several times. Inside is the body of an 84-year-old woman, lying in a blood mare. This lady is called Anne-Marie, she has lived alone since the death of her husband around 2019.
Visiting this Easter Sunday, one of her sons discovered her lifeless around 10 a.m. Very quickly, this man alerted the police and the emergency services. On the spot, the Smur could only note the death. After being informed of the situation, the prosecutor moved to this beautiful residence, located in a very chic residential area.
Obviously, this woman would have been injured in her bathroom, before crawling into her garage. Traces of blood attesting to this. Did she die by accident or was she killed? His body would show no trace of blows, let alone a bullet hole. But the commotion observed inside the house and the first assessment of the pathologist prompted the Toulouse prosecutor’s office to open a homicide investigation. The investigators of the territorial direction of the judicial police are in charge of the investigations.
“Anne-Marie was in perfect health!”
In the neighborhood this Sunday, everyone is shocked by the presence of the police. The residents discuss in groups in front of their house. They try to understand. “Anne-Marie has lived here for at least 30 years. She has several children. She is a very nice woman. Always smiling despite the recent death of her husband,” says a neighbour. One of her relatives specifies that Anne-Marie had no health problem. “She walked regularly with me. I found her smiling. I can’t imagine her killing herself. In my opinion, as her house is very beautiful, it is possible that she came face to face with one or more burglars . From there, everything can go wrong”, imagine this friend of the victim.
So many hypotheses that will have to be explored by police investigators. This Sunday, no one has been taken into custody but no leads have been ruled out.
