A hearing during which Charles would have assured not to remember anything. It is likely that this cocaine user was not in his normal state when he acted out. During this interrogation, the behavior of this man challenged the authorities. After expertise, he should be hospitalized in psychiatry in the evening, “at the latest tomorrow morning”, confides a source close to the file.
A precedent on October 30
This Monday, this 1m90 colossus tried to crush the new lover of his ex-wife, before hitting the couple with a machete. “He gave this 37-year-old woman several blows, hitting her in the back and in the head. Her new boyfriend, aged 35, was shot in the leg,” said the public prosecutor.
After setting fire to a bar, the suspect wanted to end his life. “It was the apocalypse. A real horror movie. Blood was flowing everywhere,” says a shopkeeper, witness to the scene. By chance, “the lives of the two victims are not in danger”, assures Samuel Vuelta-Simon, the prosecutor.
As revealed by the Dépêche du Midi, Charles had already been placed in police custody on October 30, “following a collision between the respective vehicles of the separated couple”, confirms the prosecution. But the investigation and the hearings had not made it possible to know whether this clash was voluntary or not.
