This Saturday evening, judicial police investigators were still on site, looking for all the elements allowing them to shed light on the death of a man in his forties in Sartrouville. His lifeless body was discovered the same day, in the middle of the afternoon, in the room of a hotel located on Avenue Maurice-Bertheaux, near the disused private hospital.
“It could be a homicide with a knife, according to the mayor (LR), Pierre Fond. The person was found in his room, allegedly stabbed to death. » The investigation, which is just beginning, will have to determine this. But “it is impossible to say for the moment. We cannot yet say that it is a homicide, indicates the public prosecutor, Maryvonne Caillibotte. Visible marks may suggest wounds caused by sharp elements. »
The local residents noticed nothing, except the ballet of police cars in the middle of the afternoon. “Was there a death?” Oh well, we didn’t see anything, heard anything,” confides a neighbor. “This hotel is dilapidated, he rents rooms by the month, someone else believes. These are mainly customers from Eastern Europe. »
Sartrouville has already experienced a death by stabbing on August 14. A 51-year-old man was found naked, his body covered in blood in a building on Avenue de la République. The police, alerted by a neighbor, had found in the stairwell a t-shirt, underwear, shorts and “croc” type sandals, probably belonging to the victim.
