A woman in her twenties was placed in custody Friday, August 18 for the stab murder of her mother, in Sézanne (Marne), announced the prosecutor of Châlons-en-Champagne. The young woman called the gendarmerie around noon and said "to have inflicted stab wounds on her mother, following an argument," writes Ombeline Mahuzier, in a press release.
The mother, aged about sixty years, had "five blunt wounds on the neck" and "two wounds on the palms of the hands that may indicate a defensive gesture". She died despite the intervention of firefighters, adds the prosecutor. His daughter, with a clean criminal record, was "placed in custody" for "acts of homicide on ascendant", it is still written. "She was receiving follow-up as part of an educational assistance measure that ended in December 2021." The deputy prosecutor, who went to the scene, seized the research brigade of Epernay.
