Reminder of the facts

On May 12, 2022, the girl’s body was found at her partially burned home in Veigy-Foncenex in Haute-Savoie, on the Swiss border. The autopsy concluded that Célia had died of “mechanical asphyxiation”. His father was quickly the subject of an international arrest warrant. The New Detective explains that “for investigators, Cyrille Picard would have committed this act to take revenge on the mother of his children who had decided to leave him”.

“Suicide or desire to disappear, no hypothesis is favored” then reacted the public prosecutor of Haute-Savoie, Line Bonnet. She specified: “The accused is used to living alone, independently. He practiced shooting in Switzerland. He is likely to be armed and dangerous. »
