Thirty years of imprisonment were requested Thursday against a nurse who stabbed her boyfriend to death in Le Havre in 2021 after a sexual relationship in a sadomasochistic context and great jealousy.
Lucile Candela-Cointe, 29, is on trial before the Seine-Maritime Assize Court until Friday for fatally stabbing her boyfriend following a sexual encounter.
Attorney General Marine Joyaut de Couesnongle requested a sentence of 30 years of criminal imprisonment, accompanied by a security sentence of 20 years.
“We don’t kill for love, let’s be wary of this term crime of passion,”
she declared at the trial.
“The accused wanted to possess Paul Le Quellec who was escaping from her, she killed herself and premeditated her action”
.
Marine Joyaut de Couesnongle described what she considers to be
“a chaotic, murderous, pathological love, an extreme jealousy of the accused”
, of whom we do not
“really know who she is”
.
“She places the knife under the bed even though the bladed weapons were not part of their sexual games
,” she added, believing that there was
“sufficient evidence to establish premeditation
. ”
The accused admitted the facts
As a motive, the general advocate retained
“an exacerbated feeling of abandonment”
, and the rejection of
“polyamory which she had accepted in theory”
.
Devoid of psychiatric pathology, the accused, according to her, wanted to
“freeze this relationship which completely escaped her: while she was on top of him, in the intimacy of a sexual relationship, she grabbed this knife which "he had offered it to her, the victim died in particularly atrocious conditions
. "
On June 17, 2021, police officers from the anti-crime brigade found Lucile Candela-Cointe covered in blood in her apartment in Le Havre on the phone with the firefighters, declaring that she had stabbed her friend.
At the entrance to the room, a naked 25-year-old man was lying on his back in a pool of blood, a three-centimeter wound at the base of his neck, his body cold.
On the staircase, tea lights were placed on each of the 17 steps.
Cords were found around the bed and a dagger, previously offered by the victim, bloodied on the mattress.
The accused admitted the facts in police custody.
