Strong emotion at the Nanterre courthouse.
This Tuesday afternoon, a president of the judicial court died in the middle of a hearing, struck down by what appears to be a heart attack.
The 44-year-old magistrate was presiding over the hearing in the 16th chamber where the immediate appearances of the day were being judged when she suffered a sudden illness.
Despite the rapid intervention of the men of the Paris fire brigade (BSPP) and the attempts at resuscitation carried out by the doctors of the Samu for more than an hour, the magistrate succumbed on the spot.
“The people present – the prosecution, lawyers, clerk and police officers who provided security for the hearing – are obviously shocked.
The emotion is very strong within the whole of the courthouse ”, blows an intimate of the place.
“People are shocked by this brutal death and by the attitude of the defendants, who were in the box” continues the same source.
Defendants who, in the middle of a room petrified with fear, seemed, according to several witnesses, almost to rejoice at the tragic accident.
An investigation was opened to find the causes of death, said the prosecution, this Tuesday evening.
It was entrusted to the Territorial Directorate of Local Security (DTSP) of Hauts-de-Seine.
