A woman in her twenties was stabbed to death and her 23-year-old companion was seriously injured on Friday evening in the Toulouse area, the prosecution said on Saturday.
The gendarmes had been called Friday evening by residents of a suburban district of Saint-Orens (Haute-Garonne) where they found a bloodied man on the public highway.
The injured young man explained to them that he had been stabbed by someone who wanted to kill him, pointing to a nearby house, in front of which the gendarmes found the lifeless body of his companion.
The prosecution also clarified that the detainee had to be hospitalized due to a hand injury.
