For the moment, there are no details on how the events occurred, even if the investigators have their own idea and think of an intra-family drama. 90-year-old woman found dead in her home from the residential district of Castelmaurou, northeast of Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) Saturday September 16, 2023 around 1 p.m. The nonagenarian was found unresponsive in her house by her nurse, who came to administer her daily care, according to information from‘News Toulouse. The latter immediately alerted the gendarmerie after discovering the body of her patient.. Teams from the Union brigade community immediately moved to the scene accompanied by investigators from the Toulouse Saint-Michel research brigade. Immediately, the victim’s home and the surrounding areas were cordoned off in order to carry out usual surveys and make observations. Note that the mass arrival of personnel in charge of criminal identification greatly disrupted the neighborhood of this small town of 4,000 inhabitants, usually familiar with peace.
Son arrested for “voluntary homicide on ascendant”
According to additional information from our colleagues at The Dispatch, this elderly woman was reportedly killed by several stab wounds. However, the investigation cannot yet say whether she died from her injuries or whether the causes of her death lie elsewhere. Shortly after these first examinations, his body was transferred to the forensic institute in order to carry out an autopsy to confirm or refute this hypothesis. For now, a suspect was arrested during the day and placed in police custody for “voluntary homicide of ascendant”. This person is none other than the victim’s son. Aged 59, the latter lived under the same roof as her, and he denies having killed her. The prosecution indicates that his police custody, originally planned for a period of 14 hours, was finally extended until Monday afternoon.
