In the Var, a man killed his partner with a knife in front of her children. This is the 10th femicide in less than two months.
The facts took place Sunday, February 7, 2021. In the Var, in Fréjus, in a residential area of the city, a 73-year-old man stabbed his 43-year-old companion. The children, present at the time of the tragedy, took refuge with a neighbor. It was he who alerted the police, who called the emergency services.
These unfortunately arrived too late to be able to save the victim, who succumbed to his injuries. The suspected murderer was caught in his flight by neighbors, and handed over to the police for intentional homicide. The children and the neighbor are hospitalized in shock.
