It was on returning home - according to his explanations - that he discovered his companion seriously injured.
The victim suffered from numerous injuries and trauma
He was about to take her to the hospital. But seeing his health deteriorating, he stopped his car in the middle of the street to call for help. The words of Kévin V., moreover very agitated, are confused. And when the soldiers take it into their heads to test for his blood alcohol level, the driver gets carried away and gives a head butt in a window of the gendarmerie vehicle.

Kévin V. having explained that his companion had been hit at home by two men nicknamed Momo and Kenny, with whom she had a drug debt of 50 euros, the soldiers went to the home.
