Dans la nuit du 17 au 18 juillet 2024, à Colomiers, à l’ouest de Toulouse, un homme a aspergé d’essence son ex-compagne enceinte en menaçant de la brûler.

Around 2 a.m., west of Toulouse, in the parking lot of a residence, a man tried to kill his ex-partner, reveal our colleagues from La Dépêche. The suspect was arrested after he fled.

A separation not accepted

This is a 24 year old pregnant woman and a 22 year old man. The separation of the couple was not accepted by the young man, who wanted to settle scores in the middle of the night at his in-laws.

The accused came with a can filled with gasoline and poured the fuel onto the vehicle of the two former lovers. The mother-to-be then decided to go out to calm him down and wanted to take the bottle. It was at that moment that the young man decided to douse him with gasoline and then threatened to set him on fire.

Notified by the victim's parents who witnessed the scene, the police went to the scene. Once there, the suspect fled. The police decide to go to his home, and the young man is arrested as he was going home. The suspect was taken into custody for attempted murder, death threats and damage, specify our colleagues.
