The 57-year-old prostitute stabbed in the throat by a client on Sunday at the end of the day in Toulouse is out of the woods. His attacker, nicknamed “the train killer”, had committed a murder on a prostitute in the late 2000s.
“Her vital prognosis is no longer in jeopardy, she will be able to be heard.” The new data from the Prosecutor’s Office this Monday are reassuring. The 57-year-old woman stabbed twice in the throat by a man on Sunday, shortly before 6 p.m., near Place Belfort in Toulouse, is out of the woods.
His attacker is still in police custody facing investigators from the territorial crime division. And the profile of this man is worrying. He is not unknown to justice. In 2009, he was convicted by the Haute-Garonne Assize Court for the murder of a prostitute committed two years previously.
“At 3 years old, he lit his parents’ cigarettes!”
Nicknamed “the train killer”, he stabbed his victim nineteen times in a train car at Matabiau station. At the time, the attorney general did not hide his fears: “It is distressing to know that we will leave in the hands of CB the opportunity to start again.”

Fifteen years later, this man, now 45 years old, once again attacked a prostitute, blade in hand. This time, he did not kill her but seriously injured her to the point that she was between life and death when she was admitted to the emergency room.
