No body, no trace. No one can say what happened to Dominique Aventur, who disappeared seven years ago in the Hautes-Pyrénées, since the research undertaken on Wednesday in the town of Loucrup gave nothing according to information from France Bleu Béarn . However, there was great hope of removing the mystery since Daniel Aventur, the victim's adopted son, had designated the place of burial during his appeal trial in Pau in January.

The accused, sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment at his first trial a year ago, had given a fairly precise description of the places where he allegedly helped an accomplice named "Barry" to hide the body, not far from the family home . These confessions, the first, immediately led to the interruption of this second trial. In vain then.

The suspect tries to be beautiful

Or for the wrong reasons. Because La Dépêche du Midi relates a significant incident which occurred on Wednesday in Loucrup. Daniel Aventur, transported to the site to designate the burial to the magistrates and gendarmes, tried to make the beautiful. He cut his shackle with a razor blade hidden over him and fled, before being caught later. He also dismissed his lawyers, without explanation.
