Gilles Marcuzzo passed away after his admission to the Pôle de Santé Vallée du Lot at the end of the day, this Saturday, December 28. around 5 p.m. that same day, the 58-year-old man was taken care of at his home in Pujols by Smur nursing staff and evacuated “seriously injured by a stab wound in the lumbar area, unconscious. Stabilized, but in critical condition, his vital prognosis being compromised,” said Olivier Naboulet, the public prosecutor of Agen, in a press release.
Gilles Marcuzzo died of a stab wound. And everything seems to indicate that it was carried by his partner, a 50-year-old woman, who entered his life about five years ago. Mouira Perri was alone in the house when the emergency services arrived, which she had notified. Treated for an injury to her eyebrow which required stitches, she was placed in police custody at the Agen police station as part of an open investigation, initially for attempted , then for murder by spouse, once the death of his companion was declared. “The person accused, his partner, is of Lorraine origin and has been a Villeneuvois resident for several years. According to her first statements, if she agrees with the blow, she denies any homicidal intention,” further specifies the head of the prosecution.
The police custody of Mouira Perri, who should benefit from the presumption of innocence at this stage of the procedure, is due to end on December 30. During this time, investigators will seek to establish under what circumstances the situation, which led to an exchange of blows, including the deadly knife attack, deteriorated. Defensive gesture? Voluntary act? Dramatic accident? The couple, in which each had accommodation, was not a priori known to the police for domestic violence. He was even appreciated. Particularly in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, where the announcement of the death of Gilles Marcuzzo, business leader and player in the sporting world, caused strong emotion.

“It is often said that people were beautiful when they died. This couldn’t be more true for Marcu. You can write it in capital letters. He was a great guy, kindness personified. He was also an extraordinary Rugby player, who had the technical and athletic qualities to play in Group A at the time. His death is a great upheaval, we have known him since childhood,” reacted Nicolas Poittevin and Frédéric Bouglon, the presidents of the Terribles Guerriers Villeneuvois, an association of former rugby players who meet every week around their passion. As was the case on Friday evening, the day before the disappearance of Gilles Marcuzzo, who played hooker for a long time at CAV. “He was the one who scored the last try of the match between us.”
The victim was also heavily involved in the Villeneuve XV Rugby Club. “Gilles was a caring man, with a huge heart. He was a friend to all of us and beyond the club. He gave his time without counting, always with enthusiasm,” said President Jérôme Colombini on this sad Sunday morning. “Marcu” had several professional lives. In September 2016, he bought the Buffard company and created Gilles Marcuzzo Services in the La Barbière area, in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, a company specializing in the sale and repair of agricultural machinery.
