Nevertheless,
Young man arrested, but also:
It is a trace of human blood that put the investigators on his track. For example, Since May, Eleven horses owners in rural areas close to Le Havre have discovered lacerations on their animals. However, August 4, 2025, A suspect was arrested by the common direction of several gendarmeries.
Fifteen attached equines, including five dead – Young man arrested, but also
The suspect’s profile still leaves major questions in this case. For example, This isA young man, and inserted in society. Therefore, He was known to the authorities to two facts of violence mentioned on his criminal record. Moreover, one of which was still a minor. Furthermore, These facts had no connection with the young man arrested, but also case which led him to be judged soon.
Seven assaults are reproached for him, occurred Between May 6 and August 1, 2025. They took place in Angerville-l’Orcher, Saint-Vaast-Diepedalle, Notre-Dame-du-Com, Saint-Martin-du-Manoir or Saint-Nicolas-d’Aliermont. Fifteen equines were affected in total, belonging to eleven different owners. Similarly, Five of these horses died Following their injuries.
Each time. the process seems to have been the same: lacerations up to 8 cm Depth, made with cutting or baking objects. “The photos are speaking. They are hardly sustainable “notes the public prosecutor who gave a press conference on Thursday, August 7. The facts are a priori all unrolled at night, Because the owners made their statements in the early morning.
For several equines. there are traces of tight strings used to keep the animals attached, but above all Laces at the eye level. Some horses are now blind with an eye or both.
“Very few explanations” – Young man arrested, but also
It is therefore a trace of human blood which allowed the gendarmes of Yvetot. Le Havre and Saint-Romain-de-Colbosc to go back to the suspect. During his arrest he had precisely An injury in hand. In his trunk. several objects were found: cutter, machete, a clawing key, Holes and clothing young man arrested, but also all with red traces and traces of blood. His surveys show that he recently bought strings.
Man had no direct link with horses, except the fact that His girlfriend owned it. However, they had no particular different. The exploitation of his phone. his schedule allows us to say that he wast near the facts each time According to the prosecutor. Her lawyers Valérie Giard. Me Loïck Marie consider it to have an alibi with several witnesses for one of the seven moments. “We reproach all of the facts to one person. But there is at least one fact that is not linked to my client. Where he has an alibi, he was in another place in the department. And for at least one of the facts there was a dismissal, ”says Giard.
Man has recognized his presence that on the facts from July 31 to August 1 young man arrested, but also (where his blood was found). those from June 26 to 27. Each time, an equine is dead. “He gives very few explanations And remains blurry “,” he would have obeyed impulses ”, declares the prosecutor. The other facts are disputed.
A dissociative disorder of the possible identity
Another important question is that of its Psychiatric expertise. The man had never been followed psychologically before. after a first expertise during his arrest, a second more distance from the facts was requested.
The public prosecutor declares that he has a priori no major disorder. But this is not the opinion of his lawyers who evoke the possibility of a dissociative identity disorder.
My client was seen by the expert. Listening to what he told him. he noted a major post-traumatic stress disorder, which would have caused a dissociative disorder of identity. I had offered hospitalization, in a young man arrested, but also psychiatric hospital, at least waiting for the hearing at the end of September. The judge of the detention of freedoms did not follow me. I can tell you that we appealed this morning.
This personality dissociation disorder could explain the mention of “Voice in his head”. but also moments of amnesia.
Hearing on September 26
Man is in pre -trial detention Pending his judgment in a deferred delay appearance September 26, 2025. During this period. the investigation continues for the gendarmes, in particular to ensure that some of the alleged facts could not actually be accidents. Likewise Horse protection continues In connection with owners close to the villages already affected. Nevertheless the investigators believe Unlikely the possibility of a bond.
The man is prosecuted for serious abuse. acts of cruelty on an animal which led to young man arrested, but also death and serious abuse or act of cruelty on an animal not having resulted in death, as well as for wearing illegal weapon. He faces a maximum sentence of 5 years’ imprisonment.
