• Two suspects were arrested after the discovery of two people who had died in a house fire.

    One of them is the ex-companion of the young woman who died.

  • The privileged motive seems at this time a conflict between the two ex-spouses.

  • When the house was set on fire, three children were upstairs.

    They were able to be rescued by the firefighters.

A woman and a man whose bodies were found Wednesday in a burnt down house in Nexon (Haute-Vienne) were stabbed to death before the fire but the main suspect, the victim's ex-companion, denied them. facts in custody, announced Thursday Baptiste Porcher, the prosecutor of Limoges.

He explained that the autopsy carried out Thursday in Limoges on the body of Cécilia P., 33, revealed that she had received three blows from a knife, including two in the neck, one having turned out mortal.

For the second victim, a man who was at the home of the thirty-something, probably a neighbor, "it was even more violent," said the prosecutor.

His body presented numerous wounds without their number being determined for the moment.

"

"We have the two co-authors"

The magistrate clarified that a second suspect, David M., had been taken into custody as an alleged co-perpetrator and that he had quickly acknowledged his participation, without knowing precisely his degree of involvement.

If the former spouse of the victim, Abdelkader B., 25, arrested Wednesday morning near Nexon, formally disputed his involvement, "there is no doubt that we have the two co-perpetrators," said the prosecutor.

We have the co-author's confession and corroborating testimony.

Baptiste Porcher did not wish to advance on the mobile, but the hypothesis of a conflict between the two ex-spouses seems privileged.

A judicial investigation will be opened on Friday and the two men will be presented before an investigating judge with a view to their indictment for the double homicide, with aggravating circumstance for the main suspect, and the attempted homicide on three children of Cécilia P., aged 5, 7 and 12 and who were rescued by the firefighters on the night of the tragedy.

The prosecution will request their placement in detention.

The prosecutor assured that the two suspects had gone to the home of Cécilia P. "animated by bad intentions", but that "the premeditation was not retained for the opening of the judicial investigation", because "we don't know if they went there to kill ”.

They made sure that the children "could not come down"

The two suspects "knew that the children were upstairs when the fire was lit and made sure they could not come down," added the magistrate.

The teenager showed extraordinary composure as she led the children to the balcony ”.

Abdelkader B. is known for domestic violence (one year in prison including six months suspended for acts committed in 2019 on a woman other than the victim) and David M. for damage, damage to property, theft and offenses related to drugs.

According to the prosecution, Cécilia P. has never filed a complaint for violence against her ex-companion implicated.

However, she had been the victim of domestic violence committed by another man.

In 2020, 90 feminicides were officially recorded in France, against 146 the previous year.
