Tuesday around 10 p.m., this young 23-year-old woman was struck on the 916 departmental road, in Bouquemaison (Somme), by a vehicle which had fled. His companion then explained to the gendarmes "that
after breaking down in the car, he and his partner had decided to return to their home on foot,
" said the prosecutor of Amiens, Alexandre de Bosschère, in a press release.
But, two days later, this man had revealed to investigators that his wife, from whom he had been separated for two years, "
was responsible for the accident
", which she had recognized in police custody. Then, Friday, the man again presented himself to the investigators and "
accused himself of having in fact premeditated with his wife the murder of the victim
". The latter explained "
that he had again for a few months had an affair with his wife, without the knowledge of the young woman with whom he lived,
" said the prosecutor.
According to his statements "
failing to separate from her, he and his wife decided to kill her
" and he therefore "
faked his car breakdown
" and "
organized the scenario of the fatal accident
". These two people were presented Saturday afternoon before an investigating judge.
