A new drama has taken place in Aveyron and it could well be, according to the first elements of the investigation, a feminicide.
A 48-year-old woman was stabbed to death on Sunday in Aveyron, and her husband, who allegedly attempted suicide, is now the main suspect, a source close to the investigation said.
According to the first elements collected by the investigators, at the time of the murder, which occurred on a road in the town of Calmont, the victim was alone with her husband, aged 50.
The latter, found seriously injured, also with a knife, at the scene of the tragedy, was hospitalized.
According to the Center Presse website, he was between life and death when he was found.
The investigators of the gendarmerie and the technicians in criminal identification were still at the scene of the tragedy this Sunday evening, continue our colleagues.
The prosecution limited itself to confirming that it had been seized of the case, without making any other comments.
