Wednesday, at the end of the afternoon, in Calvignac, in the Lot, a young man of 25 who was chopping wood in his garden was the victim of a fatal shot.
While a wild boar hunt was standing nearby, a hunter fired in its direction.
This 33-year-old man “was indicted on the count of manslaughter and placed under judicial supervision with, in particular, a ban on carrying or holding a weapon, a ban on hunting, a ban on leaving his home department and other obligations and prohibitions ”, confirmed to
20 Minutes
the prosecutor of the Republic of Cahors, Frédéric Almendros.
According to the first elements of the investigation, the shooter would have indicated to have seen a wild boar, before shooting at a dark mass.
The circumstances of the tragedy will have to be clarified by the judicial information, but the accidental thesis does not seem to be in doubt.
From 3 to 5 years incurred
Released, the alleged shooter incurs a sentence of three years' imprisonment on this account, "unless the manifestly deliberate violation of a particular obligation provided for by law or regulation is ultimately retained, it will then be five years" , specifies this Friday the chief of the public prosecutor's office of Cahors.
The blood alcohol and drug tests have already turned out to be negative.
