A 28-year-old man was taken into police custody on Monday evening when he allegedly tried to kill his partner in Villeneuve-Loubet (Alpes-Maritimes), a town on the Riviera coast west of Nice. Every three days on average, a “feminicide” occurs in France.
In 2023, the Ministry of Justice counted 94 compared to 118 the previous year. A man was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention for intentional homicide of a spouse in Cagnes-sur-Mer.
