Investigators have charged a fifteen-year-old boy suspected of killing an 86-year-old woman near a leisure facility located at Grau-du-Roi in the Gard department. The woman's body, named Jacqueline, was found at around seven thirty pm on 11 June, as she was returning to her rental accommodation after a walk by the pond.
The teenager, who had never previously had dealings with the law, admitted his responsibility during his police custody detention. He reportedly justified his actions by an irrepressible violent impulse, according to statements made by magistrate Cécile Gensac, public prosecutor at the Nîmes tribunal. He was committed for trial on 16 June.
The deceased, who lived in a town near Nîmes, regularly stayed at this seaside resort during the summer months.
