A fifty-year-old man with an amputated arm is accused of attempted murder and of stabbing one of his drinking companions in Nîmes, on July 3, 2022 in Nîmes. He will be tried by the Gard Assize Court from this Thursday, November 21.
Kamal was the victim of a stabbing, on the night of July 2 to 3, 2022 in Nîmes, square de la Couronne, during a meeting between lost people and against a backdrop of consumption of alcohol and cannabis. It was 1 a.m. when firefighters rescued the victim – a large man – and evacuated him to the Franciscan clinic. The attacker and his other drinking companions had apparently disappeared when the police intervened at the scene of this tragedy. Abdelkader, the man suspected of stabbing the victim, was arrested a year later in Troyes, in eastern France.
He denies intentionally hurting the victim
This fifty-year-old, amputated in one arm and disabled in the other arm, is accused of attempted murder. Abdelkader will appear, from this Thursday, November 21, before the Gard Assize Court.

His lawyer, Me Tapiero-Sauvat, regrets that these facts have not been reclassified and this file corrected. “This trial should never have gone before the Assize Court”laments the lawyer.
