Man Kills Intruder with Sabre During Violent Altercation in Palaiseau

A deadly confrontation unfolded after three men attempted to forcibly evict an alleged squatter from a recently purchased property in Essonne.

Three men broke into a home in Palaiseau, Essonne, in the early hours of December 21, reportedly to evict an individual they believed to be squatting in the property.
The occupant, who was attacked while sleeping, defended himself with a sabre, killing one of the intruders and gravely injuring another.
The deceased and injured men were employees of a business owner who had recently acquired the property and allegedly sought to remove the occupant without legal proceedings.
The occupant and one of the uninjured intruders were taken into custody, along with the business owner who reportedly directed the eviction attempt.
Authorities are investigating the incident, including whether the occupant acted in self-defense and whether the intruders' actions were premeditated.
