On December 2 at around 8:30 p.m., a burglary attempt turned into a “ gore ” when the thief who tried to break into an unoccupied second home in the Val de Durance, is seriously injured by breaking a window, to the point of losing two liters of blood which will smear the inside.
The 35-year-old man, a recidivist Alsatian whose criminal record bears the trace of 28 convictions for facts relating to narcotics and alcohol, is very alcoholic that evening. After fracturing the shutters of the house, he attacks a reinforced glass patio door and seriously injures his forearm, causing a hemorrhage. Panicked, he called for help himself before being transported to hospital for emergency surgery. Then aware of his actions, he presented himself to the gendarmerie.
“Blood everywhere”
Tried before the criminal court, he will recognize the facts, explaining in his defense, “I had been drinking and that evening, I did anything”. Anything that the owners of the premises will remember for a long time, who, when alerted by the gendarmes, discover their house in a pitiful state. ” We had the impression that there had been a massacre. There was blood everywhere “, to the point that they will have to call a cleaning company for a repair.
While the defendant will ask for additional time to prepare his defense before being tried, the public prosecutor Rémy Avon will ask for his continued detention pending trial.
The court, chaired by Geraldine Frizzi, decided to place the clumsy repeat offender under judicial control. He will be tried on December 19.
In the meantime, he will have to report to the Château-Arnoux gendarmerie every day, leave his home only to go to work and pay a deposit of 150 euros per week to guarantee the rights of victims.
