The 26-year-old man suspected of having killed his ex-partner in Vénissieux (Rhône) died in the night from Sunday to Monday. The circumstances of the tragedy are still unclear.

The events took place in the car of the young woman, 24, where she was killed by a gun. The man shot himself three times, including one in the head, the Lyon prosecutor’s office said late Saturday afternoon. An investigation was opened for assassination.
