Homicide in Toulouse: nonagenarian found dead
According to leparisien.fr, a 93-year-old woman was discovered dead at her home in Toulouse on Sunday, 27 September 2026, at around 17:00, in the Minimes district. Neighbours alerted by screams and insults contacted the police. A man in his thirties present at the scene was arrested after resisting the intervention, injuring a police officer in the shoulder.
The individual, described as being in an altered state and solidly built, was extracted from the small house situated behind the Cité Bourbaki. According to available information, the suspect would be in an irregular situation. Witnesses report that he was naked at the time of his arrest.
Investigators from the judicial police, specialised in combating organised crime, immediately secured the scene. The technical and scientific police carried out the initial investigations. The Toulouse public prosecutor's office opened an investigation for homicide and dispatched its duty magistrate to direct the inquiry and coordinate with the family, who arrived Sunday evening.
Neighbours, dismayed, described the victim as "the little grandmother of the neighbourhood". Several residents remembered her as a constant presence for decades, having occupied the house for a long time. Around fifteen police officers maintained a guard at the residence during the evening. Other offences could be identified depending on the results of the investigation.
