“Hallucinatory commandments, like an utterance of thought. » This is how a psychiatrist attempts to summarize the “inner voices” which would have guided Laëtitia Penvern in her criminal projects. They function “as an identity support, in a climate of extreme stress and narcissistic attack”, continues the expert this Thursday morning. No reason, according to him, not to believe it. “I don’t think it’s something she made up. » In a moment of intense stress, she is “not totally responsible for what she did”. He concluded that there was an impairment of discernment. One of his colleagues, who recommends long-term psychiatric follow-up, agrees with him: “Even if the act is thought out, it is favored by the hallucinatory experience.”
“I follow them”
These voices were “increasingly louder” on Thursday July 1, 2021. “They keep denigrating me, telling me to find a solution. » She goes to Ploemeur in the morning, sees a mixed couple walking with their baby. This is Yoane Wissa and his partner, with their baby, born in mid-May. “I follow them. And there, the voices tell me: “You see, they are happy and not you, they are lucky to have a baby.” They tell me to go home and destroy their lives. »
“Need to look for a child? »
However, when leaving her home on July 1, she told her partner, whom she had been keeping busy since the end of May, under the pretext that their baby had been hospitalized, that she was going to Rennes to pick up their little daughter… The president: “You tell him that you are going to bring your baby back and you are going to Ploemeur. What was your intention? Looking for a baby? » Laëtitia Penvern: “Surely”. Had you considered returning home without children. ” No. He would have lost his temper. » And it was impossible for her “to tell him that all this would not have existed”. The president, pugnacious: “Was there a need to look for a child? » The accused acquiesces.
She continues her spinning
But why Ploemeur? Had she targeted a family? She assures us no. However, she had done research on Yoane Wissa… Listening to her, it was after passing their house. So she comes across them, while they are walking with their baby. They sit on the terrace of a restaurant. She does the same, at the other corner of the terrace. They return home early in the afternoon. She continues her shadowing, stays a little in front of their house, sees the cleaning lady entering, then Yoane Wissa coming out to walk her dog.
Why matches?
She restarts, goes to Intermarché to buy “some product.” I took the first bottle that came to hand.” The president flinches: “It’s not the first bottle, it’s not soda. What effect were you looking for? “. Laëtitia Penvern, unconvincing: “To put on their business…”. The magistrate: “We are trying to understand, it is important. Can you try to concentrate? “. The accused: “With the aim of destroying their home.” And the why of matches? She says she doesn't know.
“I had a 50/50 chance”
Laëtitia will then take a few steps on Perello beach, then come back to ring Yoane Wissa's doorbell under the pretext of asking for an autograph for her son. When he opens it, the footballer has his baby in his arms. Laëtitia Penvern, surprisingly, apologizes for having disturbed “her little girl”. How did she know his gender? “How can you be so affirmative? », the president is surprised. The accused: “I had a one in two chance.” The magistrate: “Was it preaching the false in order to have the truth? “. Laëtitia says yes, concedes that it was deliberate.
“Leaving without children, really? »
A thoughtful act to the point that she surreptitiously, with a glance, spotted the staircase on the left, the living room opposite. “What did you say to yourself?” “. The accused: “First the stairs, because the children and the bedrooms are at the top.” She comes back in the evening, around 11 p.m., waits half an hour. She said she didn't know the front door would be open. She has the bottle of acid in her hand, surrounded by a red vest “so as not to have it on me, and to put it on their things, the sofa, the TV and leave”. A little short for the president: “Leaving without children, really? “. Laëtitia Penvern, contrite: “No”.
-Child safety open
She admits to having gone up the stairs. “It lit up, I came back down. » She cannot explain why she did not see Yoane Wissa, intrigued by a noise, come out of the toilet for the first time. This is the second time, following new noises, that he comes face to face with her. So, in the meantime, did she climb more than five steps, as suggested by the child safety gate, found open, while Mr. and Mrs. Wissa are categorical: it was closed!
“In panic”
Laëtitia Penvern will not budge: she has not opened it. However, she admits that she was looking for the baby. “Was your intention to take the baby and bring him home?” », asks Aude Burési. The accused answers in the affirmative. And the acid in all this? She stays on her line: “To be destroyed in their homes”. She will throw it on Yoane Wissa until the bottle is empty, then flee in the face of his resistance. She will burst into her mother’s house, “in panic”. His mother will see his trouble. She will manage to lie to him again.
“Did you know you’d do it again?” »
And the next day, she will do it again, this time with rubbing alcohol, in the Conleau district of Vannes, and will kidnap the child of a couple from Gambia, leaving her mother very seriously burned. The President: “Did you know you would do it again? “. Laëtitia Penvern: “Yes”. She says she's sorry “for everything, for hurting these people, hurting my family.” She adds: “I’m relieved about everything now.”
Me Morand-Lahouazi, lawyer for the Wissa couple, stands up and thanks her, “for my clients”, for her confession. “It’s never too late. »
