The policeman who had heard the killer in free hearing for acts of domestic violence, three weeks before the attack, testified on Thursday. The president had no word hard enough to qualify his negligence.

The spontaneous declaration of the witness of the day held in barely ten words: “I heard the author of the facts on June 20, 2016,” simply said Joël C., who testified by videoconference. Joël C. is a police officer in Nice, and he obviously does not want to extend over the facts for which he was cited on Thursday October 27, at the trial of the July 14, 2016 attack in Nice. Three weeks before the carnage, this police officer had heard in his office Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the future killer of the Promenade des Anglais, as part of a complaint for domestic violence filed two years earlier by his wife.
The president of the Paris Special Assize Court, Laurent Raviot, will take care of refreshing his memory. Leaving his reserve, the magistrate will have no words hard enough to stretch the negligence of the police officer and a procedure which he will not hesitate to qualify as “sloppy”. “Yes …, takes up the president after the brief declaration of the witness. You heard him following a complaint filed by his wife, August 26, 2014. She denounced almost daily violence from her husband for three years … “

It is addressed to us in these terms: “When I come back if I find you here, I kill you and your daughters.” The girls he is talking about are our daughters, aged 4 and 1 year. (… ) He usually calls them “My shit”. (…) Another time, he took a knife and stabbed our daughter’s bear in the heart, shouting: “Do you think I’m going to stop there?” “
” Why is it not placed in police custody? “
The defeated wife had taken the trouble to reach her complaint photos of the stabbed bear and traces of defecation of her husband on the bedroom tiles in order to support her statements. At the end of this eloquent reading, the president pointed out that the violent husband became a terrorist will not be heard “until two years later …” Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who had not responded to his first two summons, in 2014 and in May 2016, will not be auditioned until June 20, 2016 by the witness of the day, in free hearing…
