According to Le 360, the latter, a taxi driver, had indeed inflicted several fatal knife blows to the neck and chest of his father’s second wife, over an inheritance matter.

In Sebata, on the other hand, it is the horrible scene of a fifty-year-old man, author of a homicide by knife on a cafe customer in front of whom he used to beg. The motive for the crime, according to the defendant, is revenge for the contemptuous remarks addressed to him by his victim.
