INTERVIEW
The end of a long run of more than 8 years. Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, suspected of killing his entire family in 2011, was arrested Friday in Glasgow. The actor and author Bruno de Stabenrath, his childhood friend, reacted to this dramatic event on Friday evening on Europe 1. "I knew he was alive, I was sure," says the one who knew Xavier Dupont de Ligonnes at the college in 1976. "I am also relieved, because we need to know why a well-born, well-liked boy has come to commit these horrible crimes. I think that he will speak and assume everything he has done, to the end.There must be justice for the children, "continued Bruno de Stabenrath.
"I think he was helped"
Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès was arrested in Glasgow following an "anonymous denunciation", while he was arriving from a flight from Paris. Therefore, many questions arise. "How did he organize his escape?" Asks Bruno de Stabenrath. "He was very clever in avoiding Interpol and the police for 8 years, while his face was everywhere ... (...) I think he was helped," is convinced his childhood friend.
"He was strong enough, fine and manipulative to make some people believe that his family had been murdered, that if he indulged in the police he would be suppressed because he knew too much. aristocracy, traditional Catholics, it is quite likely that he had complicities, including to obtain a false passport, "said Bruno de Stabenrath. "The question is how he got back to France, and why he's ironed by Glasgow, which means he's gone to the nose and the beard of the French customs."
