A 28 -year -old man was indicted and placed in pre -trial detention for the murder of Jonathan, a 39 -year -old father, who had disappeared in Caen on February 14, 2023. In police custody, the man admitted to having killed and then picked up the corpse of his “friend”.
A drama of absolute cruelty. On February 14, 2023, Jonathan, a 39 -year -old father living in Caen, disappeared during an evening. At the time, the father fought against cancer and was “weakened”: the disease sometimes forced him to move with a rod or in wheelchair. For months, his relatives multiplied the calls to witnesses to try to find Jonathan, his sister Sophie being very active on Facebook.
The hope of the relatives of Jonathan unfortunately flew up at the beginning of May. The police, quoted by France Bleu Calvados, said on Wednesday May 7 that they had found the body of the disappeared father. In reality, his legs had been drafted in the Caen canal, near Blainville-sur-Orne, at the end of July 2024 (the local press spoke then of the “mystery of the body in pieces”), but the identification of the body was very long and the investigation.

Several months on his balcony
Monday, May 5, police arrested a knowledge of Jonathan, a 28 -year -old man. In police custody, he quickly confessed, recognizing having killed the father during a evening “enamelled by a high consumption of alcohol and narcotics”, at his home, this evening in February 2023. The prosecutor specifies that the victim was suffocated.
The suspect would then have kept Jonathan’s corpse “packaged in a blanket and a tent” “for several months” on his balcony, before cutting him out “in a dozen songs using a saw” to get rid of it. Then the suspect threw the two legs of Jonathan in the Caen canal and the rest of the body in his mother’s garden, in Blainville-sur-Orne, without the knowledge of the latter.

“He buried part in the pavilion garden, and hid the rest in the open air at the bottom of this garden,” said the prosecutor, saying that all the pieces of the corpse could be found on Tuesday, May 6 and that Jonathan’s corpse could be reconstituted. According to “Ouest-France”, the individual was indicted for murder.
“He was fighting to see his children grow up”
In a new Facebook post, Sophie, Jonathan’s sister, deplores that her brother “was brutally killed by a psychopath”, “an filthy person who took advantage of his physical and psychological weakness to withdraw her life”. “I have always known who was the author of the facts, from the start. But when are we thinking of doing such atrocious things? “, She wonders, stressing that her brother was fighting to see her children grow up to their majority. It was his only desire … ”, she insists.
