It was January 12, 2014. That day, Micheline Grandin, 77, was found dead in her F3 apartment, on the 5th floor of her building, in the Cité des Collettes in Draguignan (Var). She lies in her hallway, in the middle of a pool of blood, with a large wound on her face. She also appears to have been hit with a small blue stool. Her purse is missing. It was a hundred-year-old friend who raised the alarm. Micheline had invited him to eat the galette des rois and no longer responded…
“The criminal must have known Micheline” we whispered to our reporter
The personality survey doesn’t really open up any avenues. Micheline Grandin, a former shoe saleswoman, remained active despite her retirement. She often chatted with neighbors and visited her late husband’s grave every day. She bought her newspaper every day and did her shopping, always in cash. The disappearance of her leather handbag at the crime scene suggests the theory of a villainous crime. We will also find his wallet at the foot of the building, next to a telephone booth…
Everyone we interviewed at the time (LND 1643) thought the killer lived in the building, or at least the neighborhood. “The criminal must have known Michelineprophesied a local resident. He didn’t randomly go to the fifth floor to knock on the door of a lonely woman. She must have opened it to him because she knew him”. Good intuition.
DNA taken from under the fingernails has spoken
According to RTL, which reveals the information, organic matter taken from under Micheline Grandin’s nails recently “matched” with a genetic profile: that of a young neighbor of the septuagenarian, barely 18 years old at the time. . Placed in police custody last week, and although denying his involvement, he was indicted for “murder of a vulnerable person” and imprisoned. He remains presumed innocent.
