Unbearable pain, heartbreak, infinite sadness… Victorine's friends and loved ones spoke before the Assize Court of the tragedy that destroyed part of their lives. This new ordeal revives their suffering from September 2020, when the teenager disappeared before being found dead, strangled and drowned in a stream. This Friday, on the fifth day of the trial of Ludovic Bertin, her alleged murderer, parents, brothers and sisters of Victorine Dartois took the stand to declare their eternal love for the young girl, while recalling their anger in the face of injustice of his death.
