The lifeless body of a 25-year-old young man was found on June 2, in a ditch between Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire and Angers (Maine-et-Loire).

It was a firefighter who discovered it after seeing the damaged bike.

For the first time, his parents confided in our colleagues from

Ouest-France

, in an article published this Wednesday, September 28.

The young man had returned to his parents for his father's birthday.

The day before, he had gone on a date on his bike, apparently to meet a girl.

But, in the early morning, he still had not returned and did not respond to his mother's messages.

Annoyed and angry

Around noon, gendarmes came to announce the sad news to the parents.

They then learned that the driver of the vehicle that allegedly hit their son had fled.

She has since been arrested and charged with manslaughter.

“Every day I wonder if it's true or not.

Every morning and every evening, I see her bedroom door open.

But he is no longer there,” says the father.

Destroyed and angry, the family explained to our colleagues that for the moment, they let justice do its job.

“But there is so much to say about the functioning of the authorities.

The time will come to discuss this, ”laments the father.
