In Quimperlé, two brothers aged 21 and 23 faced the correctional court on charges related to an incident involving their parents on April 28. The older brother was accused of making death threats against their father, while the younger was charged with violence against a parent, insults, and rebellion. On the day of the incident, a woman alerted the gendarmerie, claiming her son had tried to kill his father. When law enforcement arrived, they found a chaotic scene, with the two sons visibly intoxicated amidst broken glass. The older sibling confronted the police, injuring an officer during his arrest while having a blood alcohol level of 2.42 g per liter.
At the court, the elder brother received a nine-month prison sentence, with five months suspended on probation for two years. His brother was slapped with a €500 fine. The case highlighted issues of alcohol-related violence and family dysfunction, as noted by the brothers‘ lawyer, who pointed out their struggles with finding work and their introverted nature. Both siblings expressed regret for their actions, with one stating he was trying to manage his drinking and was actively seeking employment.
