(SomaliNet) A French MP of the ruling UMP party has shot dead his mistress in the northeastern town of Thionville before taking his own life. Jean-Marie Demange recently lost his position as mayor of Thionville in local elections, and apparently took his defeat as a serious personal failure.
The former mayor, who was thought be suffering from a severe depression, was also in the middle of a divorce. So far, the UMP has refused to comment on the tragedy.
