A 25-year-old man has been taken into custody and will be brought before a judge for potential murder charges after he killed his cousin in Courbevoie, a town in the Hauts-de-Seine department, according to the Nanterre prosecutor's office. The victim, a 37-year-old woman, suffered "dozens of knife blows" during an attack that occurred overnight on Saturday to Sunday. The office confirmed to AFP that she could not be revived and died as a result of the assault. The suspect is currently in custody, along with the person who was hosting them at the time of the incident. The prosecutor's office noted that the motive for the killing is still under investigation. An autopsy on the victim is scheduled for Monday, which will help determine the exact cause of death and provide further insight into the circumstances of the attack. The suspect will be presented to an investigating judge on Monday to be formally charged with murder. The prosecutor is expected to request provisional detention, which would keep the suspect in custody while the legal process continues. This type of detention is often used in serious criminal cases to ensure the suspect remains available for trial and does not pose a risk to the public or interfere with the investigation. Authorities are working to gather more information about the incident, including the relationship between the victim and the suspect, as well as any potential witnesses or evidence that could clarify the motive behind the attack. The case has drawn attention from local residents and law enforcement, who are emphasizing the importance of a thorough and impartial investigation.
