REPORTAGE
The 300 participants came dressed in pink, the favorite color of Sylvia. They walked a half-hour from the town hall to her home, in tribute to this woman, 131st killed by a spouse or ex-spouse in 2019. On the spot, in Oberhoffen-sur-Moder, near Strasbourg, they have filed photos, words and especially roses, a week after the murder of the mother, stabbed by his companion.
"I really came to support and say stop"
"I do not accept what happened, kill, take a life like that ..." Jean breathes, whose ex-wife was a friend of the victim. "She did not deserve that, she was a happy, nice girl, I really came to support and to say stop, stop, it's not normal."
Nearly 300 people came to say goodbye to Sylvia, 40, dead under the blows of her husband.

At the back of the procession, Patricia, who did not know Sylvia, was also the victim of domestic violence. "He beat me several times, I never dared to complain," she says. "I was always ashamed and I always thought I loved my husband and I did not want to hurt him, I'm really, really in the place of this girl, because honestly on a finger, I would have been the same. "
Muriel, who came from a neighboring commune with her mother and sister, wants her to express her "support for this woman, who has died by a horrible crime". "You can not justify such a crime, to say that it is an act of love is not possible," she says. The funeral of the mother will take place next Saturday.
