A man suspected of two murders committed several decades ago in Isère was placed in pre-trial detention, the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office announced on Monday December 2. He is accused 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 suspect “was presented before the investigating magistrate, who indicted him” for the two homicides, said the public prosecutor.
The Nanterre serial or unsolved crimes center (“cold cases”), created in 2022, had 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.
This man in his sixties was arrested and placed in police custody in the premises of the gendarmes of the Grenoble research section, at the end of November, after having been 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 had placed him in detention, pending his transfer to Nanterre.
