A “stratospheric” assessment in a few hours. During the night from Sunday to Monday, a 46-year-old man lacerated, with an oyster knife and carpenter’s nails, the tires of 214 vehicles, 34 trailers and the tubes of five boats in Andernos in Gironde, revealed our colleagues of South West.
“I don’t remember anything. I was not in my normal state. I woke up on my terrace, a knife in my hand”, declared the individual to the gendarmes who found his trace thanks to the images of video surveillance.
The Andernoisian carpenter would have drunk, in the space of the evening preceding the facts, two bottles of vodka and consumed cocaine and ecstasy. The local newspaper raises that he was “beset by worries of childcare and accounting”.
