A 25-year-old man broke into his neighbors’ house armed with an ax. This man living in Fronton did not support confinement, which would have damaged his plans …
A couple domiciled in Fronton thought they were living a remake of Shining! As in the famous Stephen King novel, a man appeared armed with an ax in their living room. An evening they are unfortunately not ready to forget …
Tuesday afternoon, a couple of fifty-something living in Fronton was confined to his home, when a noise of broken glass resounded throughout the house. In front of one, the neighbor’s son, 25 years old. This man broke the bay window with an ax before entering the living room.
Obviously very upset, the intruder was violent with the husband. He allegedly punched him in the face, before threatening him more seriously … After a few tense minutes, he asked for money. For fear of receiving a fatal ax blow, the couple gave him what they could. The attacker left with 60 € in his pockets, before disappearing from the radars.
Containment would have shattered his dreams
But the gendarmes of the Fronton brigade community were quick to find his trace. Arrested the next morning, he was placed in police custody. During these hearings, the suspect indicated that he had no problems with these neighbors. Only, shortly before the period of confinement, he planned to embark on a professional career in a foreign country. But the appearance of the Covid-19 and the restrictions on movement, greatly damaged his plans. After a few days of confinement, this man, without a criminal record, also broke up with his partner. All these successive events made him lose control, to the point of attacking acquaintances with a weapon. At the helm of the Toulouse Criminal Court this Thursday, the accused represented by Me Martin-Vatinel began to cry. He apologized to his victims, still very shocked. Pending trial on May 27, 2020, the respondent was placed in pre-trial detention. A period during which he should be assessed by a professional.
