Strangled in Montpellier during sex games, according to her companion

A 50 year old man was indicted Tuesday for intentional homicide, two days after the discovery of his wife’s body on the bed of the couple’s apartment, according to AFP. On Sunday, the police were called by the fifty-something, notifying them of the death of his companion. He then told the officers “having strangled her in the context of intimate games allowed on a background of alcohol”. On site, bottles of strong alcohol were found empty, in a “housing with little investment” said the prosecution. The body of the 46-year-old victim was lying on the bed.

During the autopsy performed on Monday, no trace of struggle was noted. If the examination has detected any “internal stigmata of strangulation”, the victim did not present any trace around the neck, nor bloody trauma, “the death can go back several hours” the prosecution told AFP.

During his custody, the companion then confirmed his first words “describing himself with his partner as a united although dysfunctional couple having already been convicted together for offenses against the legislation on narcotics” reports the prosecution.
