On the second of three days of the trial of Yunus Cosgun, accused of having killed his former partner Patricia Gomit in June 2022 at her home in Val-en-Vignes, the Deux-Sèvres Assize Court notably gave the floor, on Tuesday January 21, 2025, to several experts and witnesses: in order, the director of investigation of the research section of the Poitiers gendarmerie, the forensic doctor of the hospital center academic from the same city who had performed the autopsy and a specialist in morpho-analysis of blood traces.
Expected at the baptism of her granddaughter in the village church, the 51-year-old victim was discovered on the morning of Saturday June 11, 2022 in her room: she was lying naked on her right side on the ground, in a pool of blood, at the foot of his bed on which there was also a large quantity of blood. His head was resting on an open drawer of a nightstand.
The murder weapon never found
“Most likely” Surprised in her sleep, Patricia Gomit was beaten to death with a blunt object: the murder weapon was never found. The fifty-year-old wiped “several blows, it’s obvious, analyzed the Dr Julien Comte, the lawyer. If I had to give a low range, it's at least five. But I think there were more. »
These blows were allegedly carried out with “a certain intensity on the front and back of the head”, causing more than half a dozen fractures. The deceased was unrecognizable: the vision of the post-mortem photos of her face will make the only one of her four daughters left in the courtroom at that precise moment burst into tears.
-Patricia Gomit died following“extremely serious head trauma”, detailed the Dr Julien Comte. The death occurred a minimum of twelve hours and a maximum of forty-eight hours, the time of his last exchange.
But Yunus Cosgun continues to deny being the author: he will be questioned again by the Deux-Sèvres Assize Court at the end of the day. The verdict is expected in the afternoon or evening of Wednesday January 22, 2025.
