  • The young man, who lived with his mother in Cadaujac, stabbed her with several stabs on Saturday evening.
  • Seriously injured, she was nevertheless able to contact her ex-husband - also the father of the young man - who immediately went on the spot.
  • When they arrived, the gendarmes found the body of the sixty-something man lifeless, while his son was waiting for them "with bloody hands and in the air." This one would present psychiatric disorders.

A 66-year-old man was stabbed to death on Saturday night in Cadaujac (Gironde), in the southern suburbs of Bordeaux, when he came to rescue his ex-wife, who was violently attacked by their 28-year-old son . Here is what we know about the investigation this Sunday.

What happened on Saturday evening?

According to the first elements of the investigation, a woman was seriously injured on Saturday evening around 10:30 p.m., with several stab wounds at her home in Cadaujac (Gironde), by her 28-year-old son, with whom she lives. She still manages to reach her ex-husband, who is also the father of the young man, who arrives quickly at home while she flees and alerts the emergency services. The gendarmes, accompanied by firefighters, arrive on site at 11 p.m. Contacted by 20 Minutes , the assistant prosecutor of Bordeaux, Jean-Luc Puyo, tells that "the son waits for them then in front of the gate of the house, hands bloodied and in the air, as if to surrender ... He is immediately arrested, then the gendarmes discover on the spot the body of the father, lifeless, touched with several stab wounds, in the throat and in the face. "

What would be the motivations of the alleged murderer?

"We do not yet know his motivations, assures Jean-Luc Puyo, because he could not be heard, being himself in care. His hands were indeed slashed by the knife with which he struck. However, his mother began to deliver a few items. "She tells us that he returned to their home after going to walk the dog, that he was then very upset, and that he threw himself on her to stab her several times. "She also said that he had" small psychiatric problems ", and that he was" followed in a medico-psychological center in Villenave d'Ornon. "The alleged murderer is still in police custody this Sunday," but we are currently carrying out psychiatric examinations to find out whether his judgment is or was impaired, and to find out if it is dangerous for himself and for others - which seems obvious - and consider a hospitalization under duress ”further specifies the prosecutor.

What is the state of the mother of the alleged murderer?

The woman was "injured in the thighs, left arm and ribs," says Jean-Luc Puyo. She is still hospitalized at the Bordeaux University Hospital this Sunday, in shock, “but her days are not in danger. "
