Violence in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés

Overview

In Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, a 7-year-old boy is suspected of fatally stabbing his aunt during a family dispute on September 18. The incident reportedly stemmed from a disagreement between two sisters regarding hair straightening.

Investigators state the child allegedly used a knife to inflict serious wounds to the victim’s neck and back. The victim, identified as 49-year-old Nadia S., managed to flee the apartment and reach the street before collapsing. Despite efforts from emergency services and SAMU, she succumbed to her injuries at approximately 5:17 a.m.

Police reported finding the child with blood on his hands; he allegedly stated, ‘Yes, it was me. I don't want to go to prison. I don't want you to put my mother in prison. I was defending my mama.’

The child’s 34-year-old mother was taken into custody. Due to French law regarding the presumption of non-discernment for children under 13, no criminal proceedings can be initiated against the minor. The case has been referred to child protection services and a juvenile judge to evaluate the family situation and determine necessary psychological or social support. The prosecutor's office and the Service départemental de police judiciaire are conducting an investigation into the exact circumstances of the event.
