Man Sentenced to 30 Years for 2022 Murder of Ex-Partner in Deux-Sèvres
Yunus Cosgun received a 30-year prison sentence with a 20-year minimum for killing Patricia Gomit, who had filed a complaint against him one month prior to her death.
- Yunus Cosgun, 58, was convicted of murdering his ex-partner Patricia Gomit in June 2022 in Deux-Sèvres, France, and sentenced to 30 years in prison with a 20-year minimum period of incarceration.
- The victim, Patricia Gomit, had filed a police complaint in May 2022, reporting death threats and expressing fear for her safety, but the case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
- Prosecutors characterized the crime as a 'surmeurtre,' a particularly violent act intended to dehumanize the victim, and had sought a life sentence for Cosgun.
- Cosgun, who has a history of 13 prior convictions, denied responsibility throughout the trial, offering inconsistent accounts and claiming he was abducted by unknown individuals on the day of the murder.
- The victim's family and their legal representatives criticized the handling of her initial complaint, with plans to pursue legal action against the state for perceived failures in protecting her.
