INFO THE DISPATCH. Suspicion of feminicide near Toulouse: a sixty-five-year-old woman killed, her husband found dead
A 65-year-old woman of English origin was found dead in her living room on Sunday April 24. She lived with her husband in a house located in Baudrac, near Saint-Gaudens. The body of his 64-year-old companion was also found…
A 65-year-old woman died at the weekend in the town of Boudrac, near Saint-Gaudens. But his body was only discovered on Sunday April 24 by relatives.
It all starts in the middle of the afternoon, when friends of the victim are worried. They have not heard from this sexagenarian and her husband since Thursday, which is not in their habits. To make sure that the English couple is well, these people go to their home.
What they find there leaves them speechless. The woman is lying on the sofa, a rope around her neck. His face visibly swollen. She appears to have been hit several times. In shock, the witnesses immediately call for help. But the gendarmes of the company of Saint-Gaudens can only note the death of the Englishwoman. His death would even go back several days. Given the circumstances, the criminal trail leaves little room for doubt.
Husband found dead too…
As the victim’s husband cannot be found, the police do their utmost to find him… The search is ultimately very brief. They discover his body in one of the rooms of the house. He would hang himself.
The Saint-Gaudens public prosecutor’s office opened a homicide investigation and assigned the investigations to the soldiers of the Saint-Gaudens research brigade. This Sunday, the investigators were on site to find as many clues as possible and carry out several checks.
Did this 64-year-old man kill his wife before killing himself? To date, no leads have been ruled out. Only certainty, this couple hitherto without history would have had significant financial difficulties in recent months.
