While the police showed up at the couple’s apartment, the defendant twice planted a knife in a door behind which a police officer was, piercing it.
When questioned, the defendant admitted to having “freaked out“It contests attempted assassinations and murder as well as arbitrary detention, but recognizes other attacks, including harassment and threats.”I continue my life, I want to move forward, I have moved beyond this“.
The representative of the prosecution recalls that the defendant had announced his intention to kill his romantic rival when he went looking for him, armed with 3 large kitchen knives. Fays’ deputy believes that there was indeed a beginning of an assassination attempt in this specific case and considers the homicidal intent established. Regarding the attempted murder of the police officer, the public prosecutor recalls that the blade stopped 5 centimeters from the victim’s neck.
“He declared that he wanted to “punch a hole in the belly” of his romantic rival right after the fact. He specified that he wanted a face-to-face meeting and that if he saw him, he would stab him with a blade.“. The substitute continues: “He said he stopped and left his bag of knives. He actually got rid of it so he could run faster after his rival’s car. He then stabbed a door behind which a police officer was located. They pierced the door by 10 centimeters and reached the height of the officer’s neck and thorax.“
The representative of the prosecution declares “still very worried.” “It wasn’t just a simple outburst, the defendant is a ticking time bomb.“
The defense pleads for acquittal on charges of attempted assassination, murder, and arbitrary detention and requests a sentence accompanied by a probationary suspension. For Me Navez, the assassination attempt does not hold up. “There was no premeditation. He pulled himself together and left the knives behind. There was no start of execution. The attempted murder of the police officer is far from being established. As for the sequestration, it has clearly not been established: a door was open throughout the scene mentioned.“
