A 50-year-old was still in custody this Wednesday, January 25. The man is suspected of having murdered his ex-companion on Thursday January 19 in Paris in poisoning.
According to information from our colleagues at Parisianthe mobile of this feminicide would be the refusal of the breakup of the couple.
The victim, Catherine D., a 46-year-old entrepreneur living in the north of Paris, reportedly began to complain in the fall of severe headaches and overwhelming fatigue, before being hospitalized in mid-October.
An investigation triggered after a report from doctors
While the doctors saw his condition deteriorate, the Pitié-Salpétrière hospital would have received many messages from his ex-companion suggesting that they study the trail of mercury poisoning.
This poisoning would have finally been corroborated by a toxicological analysis, which dated it several months earlier.
After the report of the doctors to justice, the parquet floor of Paris triggered the opening of a judicial investigation on January 18, for “poisoning with premeditation”.
The search of the suspect’s home, in which his ex-partner and their two young children lived before their separation, would have made it possible to get their hands on the empty bottles of a toxic product based on mercury.
