One week to the day after the discovery of the lifeless body of a man, his throat slit, in his apartment on rue Camille-Pelletan, in Levallois-Perret, the questions remain unanswered.
Carried out this Thursday at the Forensic Institute (IML) in Garches, the autopsy did not provide the necessary elements to understand the tragedy.
“The conclusions tell us what we already knew, in particular that the victim succumbed to a sore throat, blows a person close to the case.
What we want to know is if she suffered this wound on her own or if someone helped her… ”
Heard shortly after the facts, the man's companion had told investigators that her husband had committed suicide by slitting his throat. But his statements, which could indeed correspond to the first observations made on the spot, could not be confirmed by the examination of the body. "As it stands, it is difficult to see it any clearer" we regret at the Nanterre prosecutor's office, which consequently called for "additional expertise" from the IML technicians. Additional expertise, the results of which should not be known until the middle of next week.
The investigation by the Hauts-de-Seine departmental judicial police service (SDPJ 92) could then take a turn. Or not. At this stage, the investigators mainly have the testimony of the victim's partner. According to this 49-year-old woman discovered in the apartment in a state of shock, her husband himself would have alerted the emergency services before she took the phone from him to tell the police that he was in the process of making a decision the throat. A plausible scenario according to a person close to the file who explains having already been confronted with this type of suicide, certainly "unusual", during his career.
