In Thionville, on February 25, after three months of absence, an ex-partner reappears and invites himself to his companion who has rebuilt her life without telling him. In any case, this is what the 20-year-old defendant claims. That day, he arrives at the home he had before he left and finds his ex, his new boyfriend and his sister there. The atmosphere is tense. “I did not understand immediately that they were in a relationship”, affirms the one who has already been condemned for violence exerted on his concubine.
However, as the evening and night progress, the climate will become explosive. The ex-spouse ruminates in the living room while the other three are in the bedroom. So much so that in the middle of the night, he bursts into the room and goes after his ex. He sticks her to the wall, shakes her while insulting her. He throws his phone which smashes then, back in the living room, destroys the television. He ended up calming down until the early morning: “There, he came back to the room to say hello to everyone and then threatened me again”, stammered the victim before the Thionville criminal court.
“I thought we were together again”
“She was the one who told me to come, I have messages that prove it, claims the respondent. She is still in love with me. I thought we were together again.” And he speaks, he speaks, serving the audience a long litany. Already convicted four times for acts of violence and not having respected his legal follow-up, he made his cinema. “We have in front of us someone for whom we make a place on the sofa and who, because the welcome was not in line with what he expected, tumbles into the room where the three other dead of fear are entrenched. , threatens and breaks everything he finds, ”continues Brice Partouche, public prosecutor. Four months’ imprisonment and the full revocation of the suspended sentence pronounced in 2020 were requested, then pronounced by the Thionville court against Bryan Nachtegael, i.e. a firm twelve-month sentence with continued detention.
