A shopkeeper from Compiegnois was sentenced to one year in prison for having assaulted his former girlfriend. Khalil B., 53, is on trial for violence committed on April 13 on his girlfriend, a repeat offender.

That evening, he admits to having elbowed "unintentionally", and this is how Samira would have fallen (the name has been changed) 'She's terrified, no longer leaves her house and has attempted suicide,' the prosecutor's office said. The couple says they love each other and regularly flout the court decision.
