The suspect of the murder of Châtonnay (Isère) on April 30 admitted that he posed the tracer on his wife’s vehicle. The latter had filed a complaint in February and he was to go before the prosecutor’s delegate in June.
He was already known to justice. Three months before the murder of a sexagenarian and the suicide of his alleged murderer before his wife in Châtonnay (Isère), the latter had already filed a complaint against her husband, learned BFMTV.com from the Vienna prosecutor’s office, confirming information from the Dauphiné Libéré.
Last February, she discovered that a tracer had been placed in her car without his knowledge. Suspecting her husband from monitoring her trips, she had filed a complaint against her.
Investigators later discovered that the man had also entrusted several weapons to his neighbor. These “were seized and destroyed”, according to the prosecutor Olivier Rabot.
Asked about these facts, the suspect recognized the surveillance of his wife and was the subject of prosecution for “infringement of the privacy of private life by capturing, registration or transmission of the location of a person being the author’s spouse”. He was to go before the prosecutor’s delegate in June as part of an alternative measure to prosecution, said the prosecution.
Unknown to police services
An investigation was opened for “assassination” on April 30 by the Vienna prosecutor’s office after a sixty -something man was targeted by fire at his home. Her alleged murderer committed suicide just after, with the same weapon, in front of his wife, in the town hall where she took a yoga class.
Despite the rescue intervention, the victim could not be resuscitated. The same goes for the respondent, even if people present during his suicide tried to give him first aid while waiting for the firefighters.
The couple was in the process of separation, which reminds of investigators that the crime was committed in reaction to this rupture not accepted by the husband. The victim would be a man that his wife had started to attend. According to our information, before his wife’s complaint for surveillance acts, the man was unknown to the police and justice services.
