The lifeless body of a 50-year-old remained inside the home where she was staying with her companion for five days. Sunday evening March 7, an argument broke out within the couple. The reason is not yet known. But the companion, in a fit of violence, would have squeezed his wife’s neck. Until this one succumbs. A scenario that the autopsy should confirm.

The days pass. Five exactly. Because it was not until Friday March 12 that the man went to the office of a general practitioner and confessed the facts. The health professional immediately warns the police. The man accompanies the gendarmes of the Trieux brigade to his home, located rue Clemenceau, near the town hall. The Briey prosecutor’s office is seized, also goes to the scene of the crime and establishes the criminal nature of the facts. The case was therefore transferred to the Nancy prosecutor’s office.

Did the defendant stay in the house during these five days?
The defendant was then taken into police custody, where he was heard by the gendarmes of the Briey search squad. This Saturday, March 13, the man was still in the premises of the gendarmerie.
Why has this argument tragically escalated? Did the companion stay in the house during these five days? Why did he want to confide in this doctor? Many questions remain unanswered.
