Two Women Stabbed in Separate Attacks in Essonne and Montauban as Ex‑Partners Held

Prosecutors are pursuing attempted‑murder cases, with scrutiny on prior complaints and protective orders.

Overview

  • In Gometz‑la‑Ville (Essonne), a 39‑year‑old woman was stabbed at her home around 10 p.m. and evacuated to Pitié‑Salpêtrière hospital in Paris with life‑threatening injuries.
  • The Essonne suspect, identified as the victim’s former partner who previously faced a court order barring him from her home, was arrested and placed in custody as the Évry prosecutor opened an attempted‑murder probe assigned to the Palaiseau investigations unit.
  • The Essonne assault reportedly unfolded in front of the victim’s young daughter, who was assisted by emergency responders.
  • Earlier in Montauban, police detained a 34‑year‑old serviceman after he allegedly stabbed his 30‑year‑old ex‑partner in front of two children, with a childcare worker slightly injured while intervening.
  • The Montauban victim suffered a severe thoracic wound and was hospitalized in critical condition, and the suspect was placed in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.
