The criminal dimension of the scenario which played out on Saturday November 9 in the Kermabon district, rue Pen ar Vir, in Douarnenez (29) is proven by the conclusions of the autopsy carried out on the body of the second victim, found by rescue in a fire in an apartment located on the ground floor of a building with two floors and three stairwells, i.e. twelve apartments, for 19 tenants.
Two dead with stab wounds
According to the Quimper public prosecutor’s office, the body of the tenant, Éric Hobe 61 years old, bears the trace of several injuries, “leading to death”. “Possibly with the same weapon as the first victim,” adds the Quimper prosecutor in a press release released this Wednesday.
Alerted by smoke during a patrol on November 9, the gendarmes first discovered at the foot of the building “a man, shirtless, barefoot, wearing bloody jeans”. The latter, Nicolas Trividic, 44 years old, “presented wounds in the thorax. Although conscious, he was unable to comment on the facts before dying on the spot.” The prosecution specifies that the autopsy carried out on November 12 revealed “the presence of sixteen blows with a knife-type weapon”.
It is therefore the scenario of a double intentional homicide – murder or assassination – on which the justice system is now working. In particular by looking for one or more other protagonists.
A knife and a lighter found
According to the court, Éric Hobe, the victim found in the burned and completely destroyed apartment was “known to the gendarmerie services as a perpetrator of drug trafficking, but also as a victim of violent theft. Disabled, he was under guardianship. Bedridden every day in a medical bed, he could only move with difficulty.” The Quimper prosecutor clarified: “It was known as being likely to usually accommodate idle people, looking for narcotics, often alcoholics, thereby causing numerous neighborhood disturbances.”
Still according to the prosecution, Nicolas Trividic, the second victim, was “known, in particular, as the perpetrator of driving under the influence of drugs, but also as a victim of violent theft”.
The Quimper prosecutor mentions the discovery under the window of a bedroom of the apartment, of a knife with traces of blood, as well as a lighter: “On the weapon, as well as on the lighter, the DNA samples revealed only the genetic profile of the two deceased people.
The case is now in the hands of investigators from the Brest criminal division. Contacted several times and by different means, the Brest prosecutor had not responded to our requests at the time of publication.
