The police custody of the 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 lifted on the morning of Friday, November 29, indicated the public prosecutor's office in Nanterre, requested by AFP.
The suspect was presented Friday morning to a judge of liberties and detention of the Dijon judicial court “as part of the execution of an arrest warrant from the investigating magistrate, pending his transfer for the purposes of presentation to the investigating judge of the pole in Nanterre in the coming days”, specified the prosecution.
This man in his sixties had been identified by his DNA, and had been in police custody since Monday in the premises of the gendarmes of the research section of Grenoble (Isère).
Procedures restarted
He is suspected of being involved in the murder of Leila 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.
The suspect's DNA was found on the seals of the Afif file and “the work of the SR (research section) of Grenoble made it possible to make the connection” between these two cases, Me Corinne Herrmann explained to AFP, lawyer for the family of Nathalie Boyer.
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.
