A 36-year-old man was indicted Thursday in Bordeaux for intentional homicide and imprisoned after a woman fell from the 4th floor of a building two days earlier.
The victim, whose age was not specified by the prosecution, fell fatally from the 4th floor of a building in downtown Bordeaux on Tuesday afternoon.
According to a press release from Frédérique Porterie, public prosecutor, a woman who presented herself as a neighbor gave the alert and told the police "to have heard an argument, calls for help and to have seen the woman fall, while an individual was behind her ”.
Inconsistencies in his line of defense
Police quickly apprehended a man who was in the deceased's apartment.
According to Ms. Porterie, "the investigation did not make it possible to establish a marital link between the victim and the accused, who would have spent the evening and the morning preceding the facts drinking and consuming narcotics".
The accused is unfavorably known to the courts because he has already been "condemned on numerous occasions".
In police custody, he denied having caused the fall of the victim "despite the evidence against him," said the prosecution, which also refers to "inconsistencies between his statements and the findings and testimonies collected by the investigators" justifying his deferral .
After his indictment, the man was remanded in custody by the judge of freedoms and detention, in accordance with the prosecution's requisitions.
