He was found guilty of having killed his neighbor and friend on Thursday October 31, 2019 in Gouvieux, after an alcoholic evening.

The police had discovered a 55-year-old man on the spot who had been stabbed several times.
A nearby individual was then reported and arrested.
Three years in pre-trial detention
Heavily alcoholic, he could not be questioned by the gendarmes.
