If the latter spoke of an argument having degenerated, his criminal record, with a dozen convictions and his operation mode will have opened many other tracks to investigators.
A suspect admits the murder of Victorine Artois
Monday, September 28, 2020, it is dismay in Villefontaine, a small town in Isère. Victorine Dartois, who has been missing for two days, was found lifeless. His body was discovered in a stream by a passerby. But who wanted this 18 -year -old woman? From the outset, the investigators struggle to establish a scenario … Finally, the key to this murder will be delivered by a witness. Apprehended by the gendarmes, Ludovic Bertin, sentenced a dozen times for violence, drug detention and wearing of weapons, will deliver his version in police custody. While jogging, he crossed the road to Victorine in a stampede. A shock after which the tone would be mounted, leading to an altercation and the strangulation of the young woman, by the main suspect. This is the version of Ludovic, then 25 years old and resident of Villefontaine, too. Described as a boy continually behaving in “Caïd”this young father was put into exams for murder, but also for kidnapping, forcibleness and attempted rape.
The accused disputes any attempted rape
Rejecting the sexual mobile, Ludovic Bertin spoke for the first time in May 2024, by the voice of his lawyer, Maître Arnaud Adelis. In the columns of Dauphiné liberatedthe council explained that his client regrets his gesture, but disputes the attempted rape which is criticized for him: “From the start, we had planned to express ourselves at the end of the investigation, to respect the mourning of the family of Victorine Dartois, and because I never express myself during the time of instruction. He also made me protect the family of Mr. Bertin. The instruction is now closed. In almost four years, the position of my client has never varied: it is he who is responsible for the death of Victorine. Hearing, it has always been extremely clear. A version that did not convince the Isère Assize Court. Judged on December 6, 2024 for the murder and attempted rape of Victorine Dartois, but also for the rape of another victim in 2018, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. As reported The worldFrançoise Benezech, the lawyer general, spoke of a “scenario” set up by Ludovic Bertin to find a “prey”.
