The 40-year-old suspect has reportedly beaten his wife regularly since 2016 in front of their children. Placed in custody, he denied the facts.
On January 30, a 37-year-old woman lodged a complaint with the police station of the 8th arrondissement of Lyon for acts of domestic violence. According to the victim, these facts had been recurring since 2016 and took place in front of the couple’s children. She had ended up separating from her husband, but the latter continued to threaten and hit her during visits. The 40-year-old suspect was taken into custody on February 1. During his hearings and confrontations with his ex-wife, he denied the facts. He will be presented to the prosecution on Wednesday for immediate appearance for “aggravated violence, repeated death threats by ex-spouse, harassment and degradation of private property”.
