François Vérove, known as “le Grêlé”, could have killed another man in 1990 in the woods of Saint-Aubin (Essonne). His case was reopened by the Nanterre serial or unsolved crimes unit.
A soap opera which has not yet delivered all its revelations. Investigations are underway to find out if a man, killed by gunfire in 1990 in Saint-Aubin (Essonne), is a victim of serial killer François Vérove, nicknamed “Le Grêlé”, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office said on Friday. AFP.
While Paris-Match et BFMTV had revealed these new investigations, the public prosecutor “confirms that the investigation of the serial or unsolved crimes unit is aware of these facts (…) as part of the file bringing together various facts attributable to François Vérove”.
New elements resurface
Investigators notably found a bullet casing corresponding to those used by the gendarmes for their service weapons, according to BFMTV.
However, François Vérove, or “Le Grêlé”, is a former gendarme, identified in September 2021 as a serial killer wanted for 35 years.
Summoned by investigators, he killed himself, leaving behind a confession letter.
-His DNA matches the genetic profile found at the scenes of several crimes.
He is suspected of several crimes, including the rape and murder of Cécile, 11, found dead and raped in May 1986 in Paris in the 19th century, and the murder of a strangled couple in the Parisian district of Marais in 1987.
The Nanterre serial or unsolved crimes unit, or cold cases unit, is now seeking to identify potential other victims, and was therefore alerted to the shooting death of a man in June 1990.
