The police were alerted by a neighbor of the victim, whose door to the home was ajar, detailed prosecutor Samuel Finielz.
The victim, born in 1985, was the mother of a minor child "supported for many weeks by Childhood Social Assistance and by the Toulon Juvenile Court".
The body of a 30-year-old woman with a stab wound was found Sunday in her home in downtown Toulon, said Monday the Toulon public prosecutor who opened an investigation for intentional homicide.
The police were alerted by a neighbor of the victim, whose door to the home was ajar, detailed Samuel Finielz.
The victim, born in 1985, was the mother of a minor child "supported for many weeks by Childhood Social Assistance and by the Toulon juvenile court", he added.
According to the first findings, she died "probably of a stab wound", further explained the Toulon prosecutor, confirming initial information from BFM Var.
"A number of suspicious items were found inside the home," he said, adding that no one had been arrested so far.
Flagrance investigation for intentional homicide
The findings lasted "long enough, for about six to seven hours" and made it possible to "confirm the criminal nature of the facts", according to the magistrate.
The flagrance investigation for intentional homicide was entrusted to the judicial police of Toulon.
The victim had "previously" filed a complaint for acts of domestic violence, but for the time being, no link has been proven within the framework of the investigation with this complaint, "the author of these acts of domestic violence (being ) currently imprisoned" for a number of weeks, according to the prosecutor.
