The trial of Kelly L., 27, opens on February 19. She is accused of having stabbed to death Valentin Delobel, his partner in front of the assizes.

The couple was living in a mobile home in Isère when yet another altercation, fatal for the young man, broke out. “I didn’t think it was going to pierce so easily,” she later explained to investigators, pleading self-defense. ‘We had lived together every day for two years. I will miss him for the rest of my life.’
