The alleged events took place on 11 May in Florange. It would obviously not be the first time that this 42-year-old man has a light hand on his mother. But for the latter it was too much. While she has welcomed him with her two children, aged 4 and 6, since the death of her partner, her son, whose alcoholism problems are known throughout the neighborhood, becomes more and more violent towards her. That night, he kicked and punched her in the arm, thigh and ear, causing significant bruises. Even more shocking, he puts a knife on her cheek and uses it to prick her hip. As it still wasn’t enough, the events took place in front of the children… This 65-year-old lady was prescribed three days of ITT. Arrested by the police in front of the mother’s house, the son was taken into custody. He had a blood alcohol level of 1.26 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.
“She exaggerates”
Presented on Monday before the Thionville Criminal Court, the defendant tried to downplay the facts. “I just pushed her a little. She exaggerates. “The bruises raised over a large part of her body? “These are varicose veins. “For him,” she does this to get rid of me and my children. ” “You are aware that your problem is above all alcohol”, asks the president of the court, reporting 13 mentions, including 4 for driving under the influence of alcohol. “She must realize that she must above all be a responsible father,” pleads mother’s advice. Which only requires a symbolic euro for damages. “We have medical elements compliant with the victim’s declarations to enter the conviction process”, on her part, estimated the representative of the prosecutor’s office. After having deliberated, the president sentences him to 8 months of imprisonment in full accompanied by a suspension of the trial for 24 months. He is also forbidden to come into contact with his mother or come to his home. Finally, he is forced to take care of himself and to work.
