A man has confessed to savagely killing his wife with his own hands and then hacking off her skull.
The remains of Assia Matoug were discovered in France’s famous Buttes-Chaumont Park, which is regarded as “one of the most beautiful parks in Paris.”
Currently, Yousef Matoug has admitted to the horrifying attack and attempting to conceal the evidence at a park used in the smash Netflix series Emily in Paris.
On February 13, more than a week later, park gardeners horrifiedly discovered a woman’s pelvis concealed in a plastic bag that had been thrown in the trash.
Detectives discovered Assia’s head in another waste bag after looking at the body part.
Members of the couple’s extended family, who hail from Algeria, have taken in their three children, who are now ages 8, 14, and 16.
Prosecutors claim that Matoug, a former grocery employee, had been jobless for “several months” while his wife worked for charities.
In the neighbourhood where they lived, the family was well-liked and respected, and a neighbour remarked that there was “no evidence of tension.”
In supervised interviews, Matoug claimed that a regular domestic dispute had gotten out of hand rather than him wanting to kill his wife.
His defence barrister, Dominique Beyreuther-Minkov, told Le Parisien: “My client is devastated. He explained himself as humanly as he could. Justice will now do its work.
