A tax inspector in France was reportedly stabbed to death on Monday during an audit at the house of an antique dealer, authorities said. Police found the unnamed 43-year-old victim lying on the floor of the property where his female colleague had also been tied to a chair. She was not reported to have been seriously injured in the ordeal at the house in the northern village of Bullecourt, though she is now being treated for shock. In a statement, a local public prosecutor said the 46-year-old antique dealer “killed himself with a firearm” after the attack. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene Monday evening after a witness raised the alarm. French public accounts minister Gabriel Attal said the tax inspector “was doing his job” but “never came back.”
