Nathalie Debaille, a bank executive in Lille, was 47 years old. She was killed by the man she had just left. Jérôme Tonneau, a business manager, harassed and threatened her for months. At his side were three alleged accomplices, suspected of having participated in the kidnapping of the victim. For three months, Nathalie Debaillie had filed a complaint and filed a complaint for death threats and harassment, to no avail. The police concluded: “the extent of the harm suffered by the victim due to the seriousness and circumstances of the incident: NIL. No protective measures are to be implemented”. Jérôme Tonneau was not summoned to explain himself and the harassment continued. The police discovered Nathalie Debaillie’s body, mutilated with a box cutter, in Jérôme Tonneau’s apartment near Lille. Placed in police custody, he admitted the facts. Two police officers received a reprimand and a warning, the weakest possible penalties. However, the victim’s family filed a writ of summons against the state for failure to protect. A hearing is scheduled for late 2024. Jérôme Tonneau faces life imprisonment.
