The first morning of his trial focused on the personality of the man incarcerated since November 15, 2021. A detention punctuated by training, jobs, abandoned due to lack of attendance, disciplinary procedures for using a cell phone in prison, attempted smuggling of drugs. Narcotics shaped the thirty-year-old, cannabis and cocaine were at the heart of his relationships and his problems. He says he stopped them a year ago, fears going back, struggles to understand that it is because of his substances that he finds himself in the dock.
A social life entirely based on narcotics
Born prematurely, he presents learning disabilities, severe dyslexia in a fragmented family structure: two half-sisters on one side, a half-brother and a half-sister on the other, three brothers and sisters and parents he doesn’t really remember seeing living together. He describes a happy childhood despite “a feeling of rejection” from his family as he testified at the hearing and to the socio-judicial worker of Safeguarding 56. Raised more by his half-sisters than by his prey mother with an addiction to alcohol, he is very close to his nephew, the footballer Enzo Le Fée, with whom he grew up, “like a brother”.
“I have no culture, I don’t know what to say. With cocaine, I’m more alive, I talk to people. »
In prison, Guillaume Lieury receives many visits but only from his family, who appears to be a crucial support today, because of “his rich social life” from before, no one remains. “I wasn’t really counting on it but, yes, they let me go. » The solitary thirty-year-old, isolated in particular because of his learning disabilities, found with drugs a way to make friends, to keep them by offering them generously. “I have no culture, I don’t know what to say. With cocaine, I am more alive, I talk to people,” he reports today.
He worked with a CAP in mechanics, and is described as “hardworking” by an employer. However, he lost his permanent contract due to numerous absences, “monopolized by his phone and his personal problems”, says his former boss. He works to finance his consumption and his outings. Sometimes lives with his mother, his sister, as a couple, with friends. “I wasn’t feeling well, I was drinking and going out a lot, so in the morning…” He went out clubbing alone but easily found night companions thanks to a few traces of business. Friends of drugs, nothing more. It was in a nightclub that he met the victim, a few months before the murder.
A drug debt of €700?
The accused supplied himself with €2,000 worth of narcotics which, according to hearings, he gave to the victim, hoping to get €2,700 from them. Money whose color he would never have seen. On November 12, he was determined to get it back, entered the home of the victim, who was absent. An appointment was then made for a meeting in the Lanester parking lot, everyone coming with reinforcements, weapons: gardening tools, a knife, a tear gas canister. The tone rose, the insults flew and Guillaume Bertincourt was fatally stabbed. The forensic doctors are called to the stand this Wednesday afternoon.
