Who killed the nurse and the pensioner?

France- A nurse and one of her patients were found dead Monday. The perpetrator of both murders was still on the run Tuesday night.

A nurse found dead at the edge of a road with her hands tied and a pensioner found dead at home, her hands sliced. A macabre enigma that still had not been resolved Tuesday night. On Monday morning, at 7:15 am, motorists discover the body of Karine Foucher, a 42-year-old liberal nurse , along a road in Pannes (Loiret). This mother of two has her hands tied by electric cables and has many deadly wounds. Her autopsy, conducted on Tuesday, reveals that she succumbed to multiple blows to stab in the neck, face and chest.

The investigators of the research section of the Orleans gendarmerie make the link with another homicide committed that same Monday morning in Châlette-sur-Loing in the same department. That of Jacques Samson, an 84-year-old pensioner living in the district of Pontonnerie. The octogenarian, who had lived alone in his lodge since the death of his wife several years ago, was punched. Sordid detail: the man has both hands amputated.

Both hands were not found

Jacques Samson was a patient of Karine Foucher, whose cabinet was installed in Châlette. The nurse might have surprised the retiree's assailant (s) in action. Tuesday evening, Nicolas Bessone, the prosecutor of the Republic of Orleans, indicated that at this stage all the hypotheses were considered. No suspects were arrested on Tuesday night.

Much appreciated by her colleagues and patients, Karine Foucher began her tour at 6am and Jacques Samson was one of her first patients. "She came to give him his bites almost every morning. She was very sweet, "say the neighbors of the pensioner," upset "by these two violent deaths. Did she attend a scene she should not have? The hypothesis is seriously considered.

The disappearance of Jacques Samson is reported Monday morning. His neighbors are worried about not seeing "coco", as he is affectionately nicknamed in his neighborhood. His body will finally be discovered in the afternoon at the end of his bed, in a perpendicular position and covered with several blankets. It shows signs of hematoma in the head, face, arm and neck. His body was also horribly mutilated since both his hands were cut, presumably post mortem. On Tuesday evening, the members had still not been found.

The nurse was not killed in the lodge

Apart from the patient relationship between the two victims, the investigators found at the home of Jacques Samson a darling and a hairpin belonging to Karine Foucher. In contrast, the nurse was not killed in the lodge. His murderer (s) loaded him into his vehicle, which will be found in the afternoon not far from where his body was found.

The announcement of the death of this mother, described as a smiling woman and a nurse very invested, caused a stir. "She was a cheerful and dynamic woman who had a lot of projects," says Catherine Kirnidis, president of the national union of nurses and nurses whose Karine Foucher was the president in the Loiret. Beyond the immense sadness, his death brings us back to our own vulnerability in the exercise of our profession. "
