A woman who murdered and then dismembered her boyfriend has been sentenced to 22 years in prison by a court in France. The court in the northern French city of Rouen found it proven that the 35-year-old killed the father of their child together with her 39-year-old boyfriend in November 2018.
Her boyfriend ruined her life with his violent behavior, the 35-year-old’s lawyers said. Her accomplice was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Thus, the court complied with the demand of the public prosecutor’s office.
45-year-old was sedated with drugs
The two women are said to have drugged the 45-year-old on the night of November 4, 2018 in a suburb of Rouen and then killed them with a knife. They then chopped up the corpse and threw the parts in bags, along with stones, into the Seine. Both admitted to the crime.
35-year-old victim of domestic violence
The 35-year-old testified in court that her boyfriend had changed after the birth of their child. He drank a lot of alcohol, raped her, locked her up and threatened her with a knife.
Cases of women murdering abusive husbands or partners have gained support from feminists in France in recent years. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people across France demonstrated for a new law that should better protect women against sexist and sexual violence.
