For the parquet floor of Guadeloupe, it is a “feminicide”.
A man was indicted Sunday evening for intentional homicide after the discovery in Pointe-à-Pitre of the body of a young woman presented as his ex-companion, said the public prosecutor Patrick Desjardins.
The city's firefighters were called Friday evening to a building known, according to a police source, to be regularly the scene of violent acts.
They discovered the body of a 25-year-old woman bathed in blood after she was believed to have been fatally injured by a gun.
The suspect remanded in custody
An "autopsy must take place to confirm this and give more details," said Patrick Desjardins.
Two people were taken into custody.
One was released but the other, a man described as the ex-companion of the young woman, was indicted and remanded in custody.
The investigation, entrusted to the territorial management of the national police, is continuing.
