The alleged perpetrator of the stabbing murder of two women, including his companion, on Friday in Hérault, claims to have acted after smoking cannabis, when he was "in a delirious state" and had "the impression that we wanted to kill him, ”said the prosecution on Saturday.

In this press release, the public prosecutor of Béziers Raphaël Balland indicated that he planned to request from Sunday "the opening of a criminal judicial investigation".

The alleged perpetrator of this double murder was arrested around 6:50 p.m. Friday by the gendarmes, in Roujan, "the bloody clothes, in front of his parents' restaurant" located opposite his home where the two lifeless bodies were discovered.

The 22-year-old man, employed in a supermarket, had just explained to his family that he "did something stupid".

Alerted by his father, the firefighters and gendarmes discovered in his apartment the body of his concubine, aged 21, a second-year nursing student, with whom he had been living for 10 months, and that of a 25-year-old neighbor, paramedic. .

A cocktail of psychological problems and drugs

While in police custody, in the presence of his lawyer, the man explained that he had "psychological problems", said prosecutor Raphaël Balland. He explained that he "felt very bad for a few days" and that he felt "particularly bad" in the afternoon after having smoked "several joints with his concubine". He would have started "to be very afraid, having the impression that we wanted to kill him", specified the magistrate, indicating that "toxicological samples" were taken from the suspect.

The man claimed to have wanted to go to a psychologist but to have been prevented from doing so by his concubine.

Still according to his words, "they would then have fought and he would have stabbed her several times", "particularly at the level of the neck", indicated Raphaël Balland, specifying that the suspect "believes that he was then in a delirious state”.

According to the story of the presumed murderer, still reported by the prosecutor's office, the neighbor on the upper floor who was going out to walk her dog would then have passed in front of their apartment and would have offered her help: but, "once in the apartment, they would also be beaten and he would again have stabbed the second victim several times".

An autopsy of both bodies is scheduled for Monday.
