A 72-year-old woman found dead in Marseille, her companion in police custody. The events occurred at the home of the couple who were not known for domestic violence in the past.
A feminicide occurs on average every three days in France. In 2022, 118 women were killed by their spouse or ex-spouse, according to a report from the Ministry of the Interior. The couple had “no known history of domestic violence” even if the man was known to the courts, the same source added.
