“Nothingness, darkness. » This is how Clara’s mother and brother imagine the accused, immediately reports Me Plantec, their lawyer. Since Monday, “they have faced inaudible comments, a desire to sully Clara even more! “. She criticizes a relationship of “appropriation, of domination. Clara has become, in just a few months, a shadow of herself! “, explains the Brest litigator. She details all the stages of the hold, “the slaps, the psychological violence, the forced sexual relations, and exhumes a statement from Clara’s ex-boyfriend, who says he met her with “a crazy bastard” .
“Kamel is tired, you know”
Clara’s mother, her brother, “were unable to extract her from this prison but they were a thousand miles from imagining that she was no more, no more, no less, than his slave, having to do to him eating at night, carrying, pregnant, shopping bags…”. Clara kept repeating to her mother: “Kamel is tired, he’s working, you know.” This process of isolation continued “because Clara was at the heart of a paradox: denounce him and risk losing her, or protect him.”
“He leaves only unhappiness”
On August 16, the day before her death, she did not go down to join her mother who was supposed to take her to an appointment with the gynecologist. “Kamel turned off the alarm,” she will tell him. “Was it too damaged? The question arises. Mr. Mouliem crushed this young girl. Exhausted, emaciated, each time, she reassures people, she deceives, she camouflages,” says Plantec indignantly.
What really happened on the night of August 16 to 17, 2021? There is the enumeration of the stigmata found on Clara’s body, the blood cleaned by the accused, but “we will not have the answer. The mother and brother will remain facing a wall. Mr. Mouliem leaves nothing but misfortune for this mother and this brother who did everything to get him out of this.”
Pleaded withdrawal of parental authority
Me Chanteux-Caron, who intervenes for Udaf, administrator of Clara’s son and the accused, counted: Clara was the 77th woman to die at the hands of her partner in 2021. The baby, who became a little boy who “is not doing so badly”, “learned, very recently, of the death of his mother. But he was exposed to violence in utero and grew up during two and a half months of violence. This will have repercussions! “. In fact, she believes, turning to the accused, “that there can be no dad after what you have committed”. She pleads for the definitive withdrawal of her parental authority.
“Pain, anger, guilt”
Me Poupon, civil party for Clara’s father, takes over. She quotes Robert Badinter: “The dead hear us when we talk about them.” This is what this dad would want so much, “proud, loving and gentle, who cannot grieve, who keeps repeating to himself: if I had known. He is left with his pain, his anger and his guilt for not having saved her.” Me Poupon recalls that the accused went so far as to rename his victim with the first name “Maria”. “Clara was afraid of nothing, except her companion! She finally succumbed to his blows. The desperate, muffled cries (heard by the neighbor, Editor’s note) did not stop the relentlessness. »
“Your ashes, scattered at sea, will do it”
This father, “consumed by sadness and anger”, sent a letter to his lawyer, Me Poupon. The lawyer unfolds it and begins reading it. The birth of Clara, the oversized schoolbag, the laughter in front of the TV… Family life flashes through her voice. She breaks when she has to approach the end of the missive. His client, “who trusts the justice of his country” addresses Clara in these words: “I still have the drawing on which you wrote: I want to go around the Earth. Your ashes, scattered at sea, will do it.”
