Two days after the assassination of a 64-year-old farmer in Pringy (Haute-Savoie) who mobilized around forty gendarmes, the prosecutor of the Annecy judicial court Véronique Denizot gave an update on Monday on the investigation for

Le Dauphiné Libéré

.

She confirmed that an 18-year-old young man had been presented to the examining magistrate in Annecy on Monday, while a judicial information procedure was opened for the murder of the 64-year-old victim, attempted murder on his wife, aged 60, and willful violence with a weapon on the suspect's partner.

As Véronique Denizot reports, the suspect recognizes the materiality of the shots on the deceased person.

"He does not explain much more about the rest of the facts", in particular "the wounds made by an ax" on the victim of 60 years, of which "the vital prognosis is not engaged".

The suspect has been the companion for several months of the daughter of the couple assaulted on Saturday evening, on an isolated farm in Pringy.

A farm worker, he had been apprenticing on this farm since last September.

"A form of relentlessness in the blows"

"The objective elements show the very great undeniable violence with which the acts were perpetrated," insists Véronique Denizot.

We can speak of a form of relentlessness in the blows struck on the deceased.

I think the young girl did everything to try to prevent this violence, by trying to intervene.

Then, above all, she thought legitimately about protecting herself and her mother.

The prosecutor also indicates that the suspect was followed during his minority by the children's judge, under the protection of children, since his father had been tried in the assizes for having killed his stepfather.
