Actor Dimitri Boetto, arrested on January 1 in Vaucluse, is suspected of having accidentally killed his ex-brother-in-law

Aged 51, the actor notably appeared in the series “Scènes deménages” broadcast on M6 and in “So far so good” on Netflix.

Judicial information for “violence resulting in death without the intention of causing it” was opened on Friday January 3 against the actor Dimitri Boetto, suspected of having fatally struck his ex-brother-in-law on Wednesday January 1 in Apt (Vaucluse), the Avignon prosecutor’s office told AFP.

The TV film actor, born in 1973, was arrested the same day on a train at Lyon Saint-Exupéry station bound for the Paris region, “without it being possible to say that he was on the run“, according to the same source.

“There was violence committed and a person was found on the public highway“, which “died shortly after“, detailed the same source. The victim would be the ex-brother-in-law of Dimitri Boetto, according to France Bleu radio.

The actor and the victim “have a link, now this is precisely what the investigation is trying to determine, to find out what it is, is it a family dispute? Is it something else?“, noted the Avignon prosecutor’s office.

According to France Bleu, a violent fight broke out on January 1 at lunchtime in front of a café in downtown Apt, where the actor is from. The victim presented “numerous marks of blows” and succumbed to her injuries during the day after being transported to hospital.
