The investigation changes

Initially, the Lyon public prosecutor's office opened an investigation for "intentional homicide", and the investigations& nbsp;entrusted to the gendarmes of the Lyon research section and the Givors research brigade.

But in view of the first findings of the investigation, the prosecution decided to open an investigation by the head of " spousal murder".

A companion not found

As a reminder, on the afternoon of this Sunday, February 11, the new owner of an uninhabited house in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon found a partially charred body . It would be a woman, around forty years old, whose disappearance was reported on February 8.

She had contacted her ex-partner to warn him that her current partner was in front of her workplace with several friends.

If she was afraid of him, it was because the man had already been violent with her and had made death threats to her on several occasions, indicates < em>France Blue.
