Comyn had dedicated over thirty years to the gendarmerie and was a devoted family man. His widow, Harmonie Comyn, expressed her grief and anger during a tribute ceremony, highlighting the failures of the French justice system that allowed Mendez Vaz to roam free despite his extensive criminal record.

There is an urgent need for policy changes that prioritize the protection of citizens and ensure that those who commit violent acts are held accountable.
