The first elements collected by the investigators are for the time being rather meager.
A 48-year-old woman was stabbed to death on Sunday in Aveyron, and her husband, who allegedly attempted suicide, is the main suspect, a source close to the investigation said.
At the time of the murder, which took place on a road in the town of Calmont, the victim was alone with her husband, aged 50.
The hospitalized suspect
The latter, found seriously injured, also with a knife, at the scene of the tragedy, was hospitalized.
The prosecution limited itself to confirming that it had been seized of the case, without making any other comments.
This new feminicide comes as the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin announced on Sunday new measures to try to stem intra-marital violence.
In 2020, 102 women lost their lives in 2020 to the blows of their spouse or ex-spouse.
This is the lowest figure for 15 years since in 2019, 146 feminicides had been identified.
