On Saturday September 26, 2020, Victorine, an 18-year-old communications student, spent the afternoon shopping with friends. When returning to her parents' house, she narrowly misses her bus and decides to walk home. At 7 p.m., she calls her sister to say she's on her way and then, nothing. She disappeared. Her family, not seeing her arrive, is worried. On Sunday morning, her big sister, Romane, launches a heartbreaking appeal on social media.
After two days of anxiety and intense research, Victorine's body is foundon Monday, near the football stadium, in a stream, with bruises on his neck and his pants down.
On October 13, thanks to a relative of Ludovic Bertin in whom he had confided, the suspect was arrested by the GIGN, in a gas station in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, less than 10 kilometers from the place where Victorine disappeared. In police custody, he explains that he was jogging and that, without doing it on purpose, he pushed the young girl who insulted him. According to what he says, he then got angry and strangled her. On the other hand, he denies attempted rape. He is indicted for the kidnapping, sequestration and murder of Victorine Dartois.
The victim's family is waiting for the accused to finally tell the truth. because she does not believe in the version of an aggressive Victorine. The young girl, with sunny beauty, was very religious and involved in the life of her parish. Those close to her all describe a calm, joyful, attentive young girl. The trial, which opens this Monday at 2 p.m. before the Isère court in Grenoble, will last two weeks. The time it will take, perhaps, to finally know what really happened that evening to Victorine Dartois.
