A man killed a police officer with 25 years of service while trying to escape a traffic control on Saturday night. He has already been convicted three times.
The man who killed a gendarme while trying to escape traffic control in Lot-et-Garonne on Saturday night hit a young woman at a speed of more than 130 km/h while traveling without a license.
The 26-year-old suspect, in the criminal records responsible for drug dealings and criminal traffic, “carried 165 grams of white powder that must be analyzed, but it is probably cocaine,” the Agena prosecutor said on Monday. Manuela Garnier.
The investigation and evidence “can be used to estimate the speed of his vehicle when it hit the victim at around 130 to 160 km/h”, with no sign of braking, she added at a news conference. Manuella Garnier recalled how the police officers initially tried in vain to call the Renault Clio that was driving “at too high a speed” and then alerted another patrol of two gendarmes.

Convicted three times
Those who positioned themselves so that their service vehicle was “slightly running, on the side road 813 to the height of the city of Port-Sainte-Marie,” the prosecutor continued. “When the vehicle leaked near the harrow, he brutally deported to the left to avoid intercepting the device. In doing so, he hit one of the two policemen standing by the side of the road. The shock was particularly violent” .
A 25-year-old police officer, Melanie Lemée, a sportswoman who was supposed to pass the judicial police officer exam, “died a few minutes later.” “After the shock, the vehicle ran away, (but) had to stop 400 meters from the place of deployment of the airbags”. He tried to flee on foot before being arrested and taken into police custody.
“from Lot-et-Garonne, without a profession, (he) has already been convicted three times, including for violating the laws on narcotic drugs and (…) on road traffic,” according to the prosecutor. In custody, he explained, he refused to stop “due to the fact that he was driving without a license, under the influence of drugs, but also due to the fact that he had just taken 150 grams of cocaine.” Blood tests are being carried out to check if he was taking drugs at the time of the incident.
The suspect denies “any intent to kill”
“He said he didn’t see the victim and thought the shock was from the interception device,” the prosecutor said. But even if he denies “any intent to kill”, “today (Monday) the prosecutor’s office will open a judicial investigation for intentional homicide against the person responsible for the murder, refusing to carry out the order is compounded by endangering the lives of others, driving without a license, detention and transportation of illegal narcotics in a state of recidivism,” stated Mrs. Garnier, according to which “the prosecution will ask for a term of deposit” for this responsible man for life imprisonment.
“We saw it as a real drama. It was a policeman who was highly valued in the group (…) it was a girl, who is very dedicated to sports, because she was the champion of the French army in judo, she was a fighter. It was an outstanding gendarme,” said Colonel Laurent Villieras, commander of the Gendarmerie Group Lot-et-Garonne.
“This drama shows the reality of the work of law enforcement and rescue forces, who daily put their lives in danger for the benefit of our fellow citizens. That must not be forgotten. It is a perfect illustration of the reality of our work and our daily efforts for the welfare of our fellow citizens (…) It is a sad answer to all those who criticize our actions”, he added. In front of the gendarmerie d’aiguillon, to which Melanie Lemée belonged, anonymous people laid flowers.
