Municipales 2026 : un maire sortant retrouvé mort par balle après sa défaite
Christian Berçaïts, mayor since 2017 in Viodos-Abense-de-Bas, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, was a candidate for re-election.
But, this 61-year-old man was beaten on Sunday in the first round by his opponent who obtained 55.50% of the votes.
After the results were announced, he mysteriously disappeared. The man in his sixties left the polling station around 9 p.m. and then stopped answering his phone.
His relatives went to his home where he was not present. They also noticed that his rifle was missing.
The lifeless body of Christian Berçaits was finally discovered this Monday morning in a wood in Nabas, about ten meters from his vehicle. He had a gunshot wound.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the circumstances of this tragedy. Suicide is the leading theory.
