According to a graphological expertise, the 13-year-old schoolgirl who killed herself in 2023 in Pas-de-Calais after being harassed at school would not have written the farewell letter addressed to her parents.
The farewell letter left by Lindsay, this 13-year-old teenager who committed suicide on May 12, 2023 after being harassed at her school in Pas-de-Calais, was in reality written by her best friend, we learned. Le Figaro from a source close to the file, confirming information from Parisian .
The graphological expertise ordered by the Béthune investigating judge would have made it possible to establish that there are, according to the daily newspaper, “many significant differences between graphic gestures” from Lindsay’s diary and those from the letter found under her mattress by her mother, several months before the events.
The outline of the words in the letter was also compared with school copies written by Lindsay’s best friend: the graphologist detected “many significant similarities” between these two writings. In his report, the specialist concludes that the letter was indeed written by the friend in question.
“This revelation does not take away from the harassment suffered by Lindsay”
Contacted by Le Figarothe lawyer for Lindsay M’s familye Pierre Debuisson indicated that he was “very surprised” by the conclusions of this report. “This does not take away from the harassment suffered by Lindsay, nor from her numerous calls for help, nor from the fact that her mother struggled for months with the college and the Academy to help her, nor to the many pages of her medical file, nor to the testimonies of college students who speak of the harassment suffered by Lindsay, nor to the numerous complaints which were filed», insists the criminal lawyer.
«This revelation is a twist without being one. We should not jump to conclusions: perhaps her friend wrote this letter under Lindsay’s dictation. The only thing that is certain is that Lindsay was aware of this letter, since it was in the family’s possession several months before her suicide: in February 2023, Lindsay’s mother had sent it to the Academic Inspectorate from Lille», adds Me Debuisson. The teenager should, according to our information, be heard soon.
