Investigations continue into the stabbings that occurred at an alcoholic party in Lamastre on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th May. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene to treat a bleeding 69-year old man who had just suffered two stab wounds.

He was injured in the abdomen and face. The firefighters took him to Valence hospital, where he needed to be treated. His condition has deteriorated since then and his vital prognosis remains open.

Our sources indicate that the suspect, a Lamastre resident, was identified by police and heard while being held in custody. The context of the stabbings is not clear, as the suspects were likely to have been under the influence of alcohol at that time.

Hearing the victim's story should help you to understand the details of the attack.
