An 86-year-old woman was shot dead at her home this Sunday in Marseille. Her husband, who himself warned firefighters, was arrested and taken into police custody.
The victim was killed “with a single shot,” the Marseille prosecutor’s office told AFP. He also indicated that he had Alzheimer’s disease. “This could be a drama of the disease,” continued the prosecution, according to The provence.
However, the scenario remains “hazy” while the investigation is just beginning. At this stage of the case, the prosecution could not say whether the victim’s husband had a history of domestic violence.
The events occurred shortly after 11 am, in a residential area of 9me district, in the south of the city.
