Shortly after 11 p.m. Friday, a marital dispute broke out in an apartment located north of Toulouse. Again abused, the woman manages to call for help.
A first police patrol arrives on the spot. “Things dragged on, the man parliamentarians and was most likely intoxicated. A second crew was then called, "said Nelson Bouard, the departmental director of public security (DDSP). But sending reinforcements did not calm the spouse.
The four police officers who know the man well for having intervened several times to separate this violent husband from his wife are trying to reason with him.
But according to the Dispatch, the 47-year-old man grabbed a knife. "He expressed his intentions in the terms I let you imagine and one of the directly threatened police officers fired," adds Dominique Alzeari, prosecutor of the Republic of Toulouse.
The violent husband was hit in the abdomen. The efforts of the firefighters and the doctors at Samu 31 to revive it were unsuccessful. "This man unfortunately died on the spot," continues the public prosecutor, who recalls that only the findings of the forensic doctor will be able to specify the exact cause of death.
The SRPJ and the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) were contacted to carry out the investigations and to understand the sequence of events, "even if the context seems clear and consistent, without prejudging anything", underlines Dominique Alzeari.
