Luc Onfray has been tried since Monday, April 28 on Monday, April 28 before the Assize Court of the Alpes-Maritimes for the murder of his father 30 years ago. He was sentenced in 2012 with an accomplice at 30 years in prison for an assassination.
A 50-year-old robber, already sentenced to the assassination of a former fellow, found the Alpes-Maritimes Assize Court on Monday April 28, where he was tried this time for the murder of his father, 30 years ago, in conditions which would have been just as sordid.
Luc Onfray, 58, had participated with Philippe Rosso and Michel Renard, whom he had met in the National front’s order service, with several robberies in the 1990s. Facts for which the first two were sentenced in the 2000s.
No trace of the victim found
But Michel Renard was no longer there, killed by his two comrades in November 1998, after being accused by Philippe Rosso’s girlfriend of having abused her. For this assassination, Onfray and Rosso were tried in 2012 and sentenced to 30 and 28 years in criminal imprisonment.
In this first criminal case, denounced by Philippe Rosso himself in 2004, no trace of the victim was never found. And for good reason: During the trial, Luc Onfray admitted having spent a large part of the body in a kitchen mixer.
Throughout the procedure, Philippe Rosso underlined the great calm of his crime partner, who would have told him that he had killed his father in the same way. “When you held the cut head of his father in his hands, from there, there is nothing that could scare him,” he told investigators.
-Zealous Jehovah’s Witness
It is therefore for this parricide that Luc Onfray is tried this week. A trial for which he appeared free, after having benefited from a parole in 2021.
When his father Gérard Onfray disappeared, without ever giving a sign of life, in June 1995, at the age of 62, he was a very active retiree. Witness of zealous Jehovah, he left his car keys, his papers, his glasses and even an annotated bible from which he never separated.
Luc Onfray, who was then 19 years old, had appropriate relations with his father, who did not support his idleness and had called him “parasite” the day before his disappearance.
“In the same uncertainty as my mother and my brothers”
“I am in the same uncertainty as my mother and my brothers”, nevertheless assured the accused on Monday, in front of the court, about his father: “He made his life, I did not worry (…). The homicide that you reproach me never took place”.
Problem for the accusation: 30 years after the facts, there is no longer any material element. And if the investigators found traces of blood in the house, on a diving knife, centrifuge and grinder blades, DNA analyzes could not link them to Gérard Onfray.
The verdict is expected on Friday.
