A mother and a neighbor, found dead in the burning house of the premiere in Nexon, Haute-Vienne, were shot dead


We know a little more about the circumstances of the terrible double homicide committed on the night of June 15 to 16 in Nexon, a small town in the south of Haute-Vienne.

The autopsy performed this Thursday at the Limoges University Hospital on the body of Cécilia Peroux shows that she was killed before the fire which had ravaged the house of this 33-year-old mother.

Quickly arriving at the scene, the firefighters had discovered the lifeless bodies of two people in the house.

Above all, they had saved at the last minute Cécilia's three young children, who had taken refuge on a balcony and who could have perished in the flames.

According to the autopsy, Cécilia Peroux received a fatal stab in the neck.

Analysis revealed three blows in total, two of which were to the back of the neck.

The autopsy of the second victim, Pierrick Berthier, a 23-year-old young man and neighbor of Cécilia who was at home at the same time, was not completed by the end of the afternoon of Thursday, but his murderer would have been fierce on him.

“It was something more violent, revealed the prosecutor of the Republic of Limoges.

His body presented numerous wounds without their number being determined for the moment.

"

Two suspects in custody

Arrested quickly after the facts on Wednesday, in a neighboring village, Abdelkader B., 25, who had an affair with Cécilia, was taken into police custody. He formally denied being involved in this double murder. David M., the other man, also placed in police custody for having accompanied the ex-spouse that evening, is considered by the prosecution as a co-perpetrator. He would have also admitted his participation in the facts during his police custody, without knowing his degree of involvement.

“Despite his denials, Abdelkader B. will nevertheless be brought before the investigating judge with requests for detention,” explains the prosecutor. For me, there is no doubt that we have both co-authors. We have the co-author's confession and corroborating testimony. Both were in the house. They each have a role in this double homicide ”and could therefore be indicted for the same counts: the double homicide and the triple attempted homicide on children.

“They knew very well that the children were upstairs when the fire was lit.

Without going into the details of the investigation, I don't want to go into a notion of locking up the children, but they made sure that they couldn't come downstairs, that they couldn't escape from the house.

The 13-year-old, the oldest of the siblings, showed extraordinary coolness, leading the children to the balcony of the house.

It is thanks to her and to the rapid intervention of the firefighters that they were able to be saved.

His ex already convicted of domestic violence

Regarding the motive, the public prosecutor did not wish to come forward. “One of the perpetrators was the victim's former companion and we are working on this hypothesis, but I remind him: he does not recognize the facts. "Asked about premeditation, the prosecutor assures us that Abdelkader B. and David M. went to the victim's house," with bad intentions. But we don't know if he went there to kill. Premeditation is not, for the time being, retained for the opening of the judicial investigation. "

The two authors present a criminal record, quite substantial for the first. Abdelkader B. was notably known for violence. Above all, he had already been sentenced by justice for acts of domestic violence, in August 2019, on another woman. He had been sentenced to one year in prison, including six months suspended and probation. David M., the man who accompanied him, is known for damage to property, damage, theft and drug cases.

According to those close to Cécilia, the relations started ten months ago were very tense lately with the suspect. “There was a big argument last weekend, tells the popular center Jessica, the victim's sister. I had made a video with my sister on Sunday, and she had shown me bruises on her arms. I had advised her to go and file a complaint, but she hadn't wanted to. I also saw violent exchanges on Facebook this morning, but it was already too late. It is perhaps these violent messages that would have served as a pretext for the suspect to attack the victim.

According to the local newspaper, Cécilia Peroux, by the admission of her relatives, had led a "complicated" life for several years, against a background of alcohol consumption. “I was afraid that my sister would one day end up in a newspaper insert,” says her sister. Her previous relationship with a man had also been marked by violence, "and she had finally separated from the father of her last child," continues Jessica. Jessica encouraged her sister to leave Nexon to get away from an environment that was too deleterious, and steps were being taken with a HLM office for accommodation in another town.
