A young couple, a 33-year-old man and his 24-year-old partner, were discovered shot dead on Thursday in Puyravault, a village 30 km from La Rochelle.

A double death for which the hypothesis of a feminicide followed by a suicide is privileged, we learned from a judicial source.

The origin of the drama is said to have taken place on Wednesday evening.

This case, if it is a feminicide, brings to at least 53 the number of suspected feminicides since the beginning of the year, according to an AFP count.

In 2019, 146 women were killed by their spouse or ex-companion, 25 more than the previous year, according to the latest official figures.
