Bloody family story, this Thursday, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
In the early afternoon, a 20-year-old young man killed his 57-year-old mother with a knife to the throat, against the backdrop of an obscure dispute at their home.
Around 2:35 p.m., in this apartment on rue de la Crèche, this man is arguing with his mother.
Armed with a knife, he strikes her in the throat.
The victim collapses but is still alive.
The emergency services are immediately alerted.
The firefighters arrived in this small town, located between boulevard Berthier and rue de Saussure.
The mother of the family suffers from a large wound in the carotid artery, which leads to hemorrhage.
She is taken care of by the medical team and the ambulance takes her to the Bichat hospital, with a vital prognosis.
But the 50-year-old died a little later, at the hands of doctors.
The murderer son keeps silent
His son was arrested at the scene by the police. He was taken to the police station, where he was taken into custody. The suspect is known to the police to suffer from psychological problems. "Officials had already intervened in the past to control him when he was in crisis," said a source close to the case. A resident of this small town cannot contain her emotion when she hears the news: "It's horrible to kill your mother..."
During the first moments of his arrest, the son remained completely silent.
A little later, he was transferred to the premises of the first judicial police district where he was to be interviewed.
He met a psychiatrist there.
The practitioner decided that his mental state was not compatible with police custody.
The young man was therefore committed to the psychiatric hospital of the Ile de la Cité.
When his state of health is stabilized, he will probably be indicted for murder in Paris.
During the procedure, one or more psychiatric experts will have to determine if he was aware of his actions at the time of the events.
This analysis is crucial because it will determine whether or not to judge him before the Assize Court.
