A sordid affair, in which several questions remain.
A 38-year-old woman was indicted and imprisoned after the death of her 75-year-old father, found dead Thursday at his home in the suburbs of Le Mans, Le Mans prosecutor Delphine Dewailly announced on Monday.
This woman is indicted for “intentional violence leading to death without the intention of causing it” and “violence aggravated by the particular vulnerability of the victim” and placed in pre-trial detention, specifies the public prosecutor in a press release. .
Suspicion of abuse
The suspect had informed the firefighters of the death of her father, with whom she was staying, residing in Coulaines (Sarthe).
She had “spontaneously indicated that she had stopped providing him with the injections, treatments and meals prescribed in consideration of this state of health,” Delphine Dewailly said in a previous press release.
The magistrate had reported “a very bad understanding between the father and the daughter, who is suspected of having, in the past, exercised violence on this man”, while the deceased needed “regular and attentive care ".
Investigators thus suspect a lack of care, or even abuse, against the septuagenarian in fragile health, indicate our colleagues from Ouest-France.
Many gray areas remain to be clarified.
“Medical analyzes will take a few more weeks before providing any useful details on the exact causes of death,” the prosecutor said on Monday.
