A man in his sixties was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention this Monday, December 2. He is suspected of being involved in the murder of Leïla Afif, killed in 2000 in La Verpillière, and in that of Nathalie Boyer, 15, killed in August 1988.
A man suspected of the murder of a 15-year-old girl in 1988 and that of a 40-year-old woman in 2000 in Isère was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention this Monday, December 2, told Agence France press the Nanterre public prosecutor's office, confirming information from Le Parisien.
The suspect “was presented today before the investigating magistrate, who indicted him” for the two homicides, said the public prosecutor.
“He was then placed in pre-trial detention by a judge of freedoms and detention in Nanterre,” added the prosecution.
Identified by its DNA
This man in his sixties was arrested and taken into police custody last week in the premises of the Grenoble research section gendarmes after being identified by his DNA.
His police custody was lifted on Friday morning. He was then presented to a judge of freedoms and detention of the Dijon judicial court, who placed him in detention, pending his transfer to Nanterre.
He is suspected of being involved in the murder of Leïla Afif, killed in 2000 in La Verpillière, and in that of Nathalie Boyer, 15, found with her throat slit in August 1988 in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier.
The Nanterre serial or unsolved crimes center (“cold cases”), created in 2022, relaunched these two procedures, now joined. Nathalie Boyer is one of the victims of the “disappeared from Isère” file which concerns nine disappearances or murders of children in the department between 1983 and 1996.
