The victim was finally foundannounced Nice public prosecutor Damien Martinelli on Friday.
During her hearing, she indicated that she had been punched several times and had marks on her face. She refused to file a complaint against the suspect who happens to be her ex-spouse. She also refused to be examined by a forensic doctor.
