INFO THE DISPATCH. Near Toulouse, the suspect would have premeditated an attack with an ax against his father
A 22-year-old man was charged with attempted murder on Monday. He would have planned the killing of his father, this Saturday in Lauragais.
The man who attacked his father with an ax on Saturday apparently planned his action. At just 22 years old, this resident of Castelnaudary (11) has just been indicted for attempted murder.
Since his arrest, this individual assisted by Me Chery has been very talkative. His story allows us to sketch out a scenario.
This whole affair would be linked to a mysterious family dispute with his father. In recent months, the suspect domiciled in Castelnaudary would have experienced financial setbacks after the loss of a job. In the medium term, this situation would force him to return to live with his parents. A very distressing prospect in the eyes of this 22-year-old man.
Little by little, the Chaurien would then have imagined several numbers to avoid such an outcome. And one of his plans was to get rid of his patriarch. A carefully scheduled execution this weekend.
He waits for his father in front of the gate
The sun is not yet up this Saturday when the mis en cause wins the small town of Beauville. Shortly before five in the morning, he parks in front of his father’s house to surprise him armed with an axe. But the scene does not unfold as he imagined. Despite the ax blow to the head, the victim manages to flee and calls the emergency services. By chance, his injury is slight. At the same time, the gendarmes of the Villefranche-de-Lauragais company go in search of the assailant. They are equipped with a rifle and ready to commit suicide. Precious minutes of negotiations, however, allow him to be disarmed, before an inevitable handcuffing.
Following his detention under investigation, the judge of freedoms and should, unless surprised, order his imprisonment. A decision that does not lead to the end of the necessary investigations by the Villefranche research brigade. They will now take place on letters rogatory.
