Three years ago, on January 1, 2020, an 80-year-old woman was discovered dismembered in the freezer of her house, in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, in Haute-Vienne.

Making incoherent remarks, the victim's 31-year-old grandson was arrested on the day of the tragedy.

He later confessed to killing his grandmother.

Trial impossible

The Journal du Center

reports this Thursday that a court decision has prohibited any trial.

Indeed, on November 17, the investigating chamber of the Limoges Court of Appeal declared the murderer criminally irresponsible for his actions.

A decision taken following the results of two psychiatric expert reports.

To date, the grandson is hospitalized in a specialized institution.

According to our colleagues, a few days after the announcement of the investigating chamber, he appealed against his decision.
