It is an isolated house in the countryside and is located in Montauban-de-Bretagne30 kilometers from Rennes. The farmhouse where Magali Blandin, her husband Jérôme Gaillard and their four children had lived, was the victim of a fire on Friday November 29, 2024, at 11:30 p.m., information from West Franceof which we were able to have confirmation.

At the heart of the matter

This house was purchased by the couple from the parents of Jérôme Gaillard who owned it. Magali Blandin left the family home in 2020 to move into an apartment in Montfort-sur-Meuit is moreover his departure from this house which is at the heart of this femicide. It was in his new home that Jérôme Gaillard killed him with two blows with a baseball bat, before strangling him and burying his body in a wood.
Already vandalism
After the indictment of Jérôme Gaillard for the murder of his wife in March 2021 and his placement in pre-trial detention, the house was the victim of vandalism, and agricultural equipment stored in the sheds he rented had been stolen. Two complaints had been filed. When firefighters arrived at the scene of the fire, they found that all the doors and windows on the ground floor had disappeared.
