A criminal investigation was then opened in the act, by the Vannes Public Prosecutor’s Office, for “voluntary homicide” and the investigations entrusted to the Vannes Research Brigade. “The first forensic findings leaned towards a probable high-kinetic shock with a vehicle” and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday, according to the prosecution.
Testimonies contradict the suspect’s version
