The remorse immediately consumed him.
A 52-year-old resident of Arcueil surrendered to the police on Sunday morning after stabbing his roommate at their home, rue des Fontaines.
What he did not know yet was that the latter had not survived the terrible stab wounds.
An argument allegedly broke out between the two men around 9 a.m.
The scene took place in their apartment located inside a pavilion divided into several apartments, in a small artery near rue Emile-Raspail.
For a still unknown reason, the fifty-year-old would then have grabbed a knife and would have hit his roommate, with whom he would be in a relationship.
Then he allegedly left the scene, leaving him with his injuries.
Gradually realizing that he had committed an extremely serious act, he joined the L'Haÿ-les-Roses police station a few tens of minutes later, where he explained what he had just done.
The man, a professional photographer without stories, allowed himself to be challenged without resistance.
Lying in a pool of blood

It was there that they made the macabre discovery.
The victim was lifeless, lying in a pool of blood.
The firefighters, called, performed a cardiac massage to try to resuscitate him, without succeeding.
