It was a day off synonymous with eternal rest. By choosing not to go to work, this Wednesday April 7, 2021, Paul Migeon signed his death warrant despite himself. This 42-year-old temporary worker died in sordid circumstances, forcibly sodomized then killed with scissors at his home, a modest F 2 that he rented on Avenue de Laon in Reims (Marne) and where the author of these appalling acts was started a fire. A suspect who was then under judicial supervision in a criminal case.
The trial of Paul Migeon's alleged executioner is due to open this Monday, April 2 before the Marne Assize Court. Jean-Paul I., 30, is accused of aggravated rape and murder because these crimes were allegedly committed because of the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. The appearance of this native of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), who had admitted the facts before retracting, is however suspended due to his state of mental health revealed by a very recent expertise and likely to cause the postponement of the scheduled hearing over three days.
