Diane de Charmasse, owner of a breeding farm where the mare was located, told our colleagues that hunters came to warn her of an “accident” and “that they had killed one of my horses”. By going to the meadow, the breeder can only notice the death of the equine, hit by a bullet in the shoulder.
“There is no room for error”
For Diane de Charmasse, the mare could not have been killed by a bullet fired outside the meadow, as the hunters assure. “She was killed in a place where they were obviously in the meadow, because here we don’t shoot bells and whistles. It was really my home, in the middle of the meadow. Especially since the plot where they usually hunt is well separated by a railway line. There are private property signs everywhere, there is no room for error,” she believes. “An accident is a ricocheting bullet or something, but here it was a guy who entered private property, saw a herd of horses and fired. »
While she alerted the police, the shooter returned to his property with his insurance certificate. “He explained to me that we shouldn't make too much of a fuss, that in any case, he was assured. He explained to me that he had seen the herd of horses panicking, but that he had shot anyway. He told me that he had killed a wild boar at the same time, but in the version he gave to the police there was no more wild boar. »
