A 40 year-old man was arrested on murder charges and faces life imprisonment if convicted.
On Friday, July 5, a 40-year-old man went to the Compiègne police station and reported killing his partner, a trans woman, with an axe. He was placed in pretrial detention and charged.
At the police station, the 40-year-old man confessed to the murder of his partner. According to his statements, an argument broke out between the couple and led him to grab a small ax and hit the victim.
The latter's body was discovered on Friday, July 5, at the common home, located in Compiègne, "on the sixth floor of a building in the Maréchaux district" , according to our colleagues at the Courrier Picard. The Compiègne public prosecutor then went to the scene, as did the technical and scientific police service of Creil. A flagrante delicto investigation was opened by the Compiègne public prosecutor's office on July 5, and entrusted to the city's local judicial police service.
After the Compiègne public prosecutor's office was relinquished to the Senlis criminal division, the public prosecutor opened a judicial investigation on July 7, 2024, for murder by a partner against the 40-year-old man.
[Assigned male at birth], the victim had begun a gender transition and had a female civil status. But according to the Senlis prosecutor's office, nothing " indicates that this element would have motivated a criminal act, at this stage of the investigation ." An investigation that should clarify the motives for the crime.

Her partner " allegedly lived by being and making ends meet ". They were both " under eviction orders". The alleged perpetrator, already known to the courts, has a criminal record with several mentions, notably for financial offenses, but also for intentional violence dating back more than 10 years.
