TarnToulouse Knife Cases: Colomiers Attack Probed as Attempted Feminicide, Graulhet Killing Investigated as Assassination

The Colomiers suspect remains detained for questioning after sobering, with Toulouse prosecutors now leading the Graulhet case.

Overview

  • In Colomiers before dawn, a woman suffered multiple stab wounds in an apartment near Stade Bendichou and remains in life‑threatening condition.
  • Police from the anti‑crime brigade arrested her partner, who was placed in a sobering cell and will be interviewed as an attempted‑feminicide investigation proceeds with forensic work at the scene.
  • In Graulhet on Friday evening, a 60‑year‑old man was fatally stabbed while seated in his car outside his home, and his wife identified the assailant to responders.
  • A suspect born in 1975 was detained minutes later, acknowledged an altercation and knife blows in custody, and now faces an assassination inquiry handled by Toulouse’s criminal unit, with a possible weapon recovered nearby.
  • Separately in Castres, a 26‑year‑old who was gravely wounded in a December knife brawl was acquitted after prosecutors failed to establish the alleged weapon use amid conflicting testimony and no blade recovered.
