Trial of Yunus Cosgun for Patricia Gomit’s Murder Highlights Chilling Behavior

The accused denies all charges despite evidence and displays provocative and unemotional behavior in court.

Yunus Cosgun, 58, is on trial in Niort for the 2022 murder of his ex-partner, Patricia Gomit, who was found dead in her home with severe injuries from a blunt object.
In court, Cosgun has shown no remorse or empathy, maintaining his innocence and offering contradictory statements about the events.
A month before her death, Gomit filed a police complaint against Cosgun for physical and psychological abuse, threats, and rape, but it was dismissed without further action.
The trial has been marked by Cosgun's provocative behavior, including smiling and giving a thumbs-up during proceedings, which has outraged the victim's family and legal representatives.
The case has drawn attention from feminist groups, who have criticized systemic failures in addressing domestic violence and protecting victims.
