Overview

• Fresh reports detail surveillance footage showing Comyn signaling a black BMW while wearing a reflective vest and holding a torch before being struck and thrown about nine meters.
• The accused told investigators he did not see the checkpoint, a version the widow rejects, citing cones, lighting, her husband's equipment, impact analysis and the absence of braking.
• Le Figaro reports the suspect, a 39-year-old at the time and a Cape Verdean national, had been sentenced more than ten times before the incident.
• Harmonie Comyn publicly condemns what she calls the French justice system’s failures and argues punishments for repeat offenders are too lenient.
• The judicial inquiry into Comyn’s death is still underway with no final ruling, and the family has requested that the case be requalified as involuntary homicide.
