The July 17, 2024the victim had initially stopped on the side of the road between Aigrefeuille-sur-Maine et Le Bignon to inquire about a vehicle that appears to have broken down. He was then overtaken by his 52 year old cousinwho would have “gives the finger” at the wheel of his 4×4 Jeep Cherokee. A family that belongs to the traveler community.
Crazy chase, tear gas and crying child
The convenience store was then reassembled in his vehicle, and was income up to the 4×4 pour “have explanations” with this person. This one, in response, had struck his recovery vehicle and had gassed the interior of the passenger compartment…althoughman is accompanied by his 8 year old son. The child was also “ crying under his chair » at the sight of the one he nicknames “the scary uncle”it was said during the hearing.
The repairman had therefore returned to the road “in the fog of gas”without even thinking about opening the windows again. He had been “ducked” pendant “four kilometers” by alarm gun shots : son cousin “screamed” that he was going ” all [les] finish “says his lawyer, Kévin Dounon-Bardot.
After doing “reverse”the complainant finally managed to extricate himself and stopped on the side of the road: he “ couldn't see anything anymore”had started to ” to vomit “ and will finally be “taken to hospital” under these conditions.
In 2004, the defendant killed a man
The defendant, released from prison a few years ago after having been sentenced to 15 years for murderactually says “schizophrenic” : just twenty years ago, on the night of July 16 to 17, 2004, he had already shot a Romanian with a gunshot on the Nantes ring road, between the Porte de Vertou etcshe of Sorinières. He then suspected his victim of “to prowl”around his caravan, since he got into a relationship with one of his compatriots. The accused therefore chased the victim's car, before forcing it to stop and shooting its two occupants. “to make them run like rabbits”.
Treated with “antipsychotics since 2015”he does not consume today “neither alcohol nor drugs”he certified before the Nantes criminal court, during this trial where he appeared detained.
But he has a tendency to lies and mythomania.
He also does not have “integrated the notion of otherness” that is to say the consideration of others.
You have already been convicted for extremely serious crimes, and now it ends with you being gassed and carrying a gun in a conflict with someone in your family. With your past and your present, how do you explain why you reacted like that? Plus, your cousin still lives on the same land… Do you still plan to live next door?
I messed up, I abused it… Obviously it’s serious. We know we won't be able to talk to each other for a while, because we've said disrespectful things to each other. If I can go somewhere else, I will.
Banned from the town
The convenience store had took the lead in the event of the release of his cousin at the end of the hearing: his children “are sleeping at the hotel tonight.”
Today, they are afraid… If we no longer speak to each other, it’s because there are reasons.
His attacker is indeed” enough dangerous »and has no “no limits”confirmed a municipal official interviewed by the gendarmes as part of the procedure.
Under these conditions, the public prosecutor had requested ten months in prison with continued detention and a ban on contact with his two victims for three years. The representative of the public prosecutor also wanted to combine this sentence with a ban on carrying weapons for ten years.
The defense lawyer, for his part, had refuted the idea that his client had tried to lie to his judges.
He is far from having the psychic and intellectual abilities to confuse a court.
The defendant's lawyer also criticized, at the same time,« the irrepressible taste of the prosecution for repressionand to lock people up in remand centers.”
The Nantes criminal court finally sentenced his client to one year in prison, with continued detention following the hearing and another with probationary suspension. It will especially be banned from Bignon for the next three years, will have ban on contacting victims againand will absolutely have to undergo treatment. He was banned from carrying a weapon for ten years.
