The gendarmes of the Dieppe research brigade are continuing their investigations after the death of a 70-year-old woman, crushed by a car driven by her husband, on Saturday November 2, 2024, around 10 a.m., in Bacqueville-en-Caux, in the Dieppe region. The man was reversing.

Justice has given itself the means to exclude no avenue. Marion Meunier, public prosecutor, explains: “If the investigation was initially opened on the grounds of intentional homicide by a spouse, and no avenue of work has been ruled out, the accidental theory of a loss of control of the vehicle appears at this stage to be favored in view of the first investigations carried out. »
