A 47-year-old man wanted

Pierre Millour, a former mechanic in Fouesnant, reportedly received several stab wounds. In the vicinity of this small residence, no one noticed anything. Neither heard any suspicious noises. It was relatives, worried about not having heard from him for several days, who raised the alarm. “Investigations are underway to establish in particular the victim’s schedule and contacts in the days preceding the macabre discovery,” continues the prosecutor, who indicates that the investigation, opened on the charge of assassination, has been entrusted to the Brest judicial police. A 47-year-old man, close to the victim, is reportedly wanted.
