Nine months after being accused by his former wife of having raped and killed Estelle Mouzin in 2003 in the Ardennes, the serial killer Michel Fourniret must be confronted with Monique Olivier on October 9, announced a source familiar with the matter, this Thursday .
The two former spouses must go on October 15 to Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), where the nine-year-old girl had disappeared on January 9, 2003, then in the Ardennes at the end of the month, with the examining magistrate Sabine Khéris, who took over the conduct of this survey in 2019.
Michel Fourniret recognized his responsibility
At 78, Michel Fourniret, whose convoluted statements and memory problems complicate the task of investigators, ended up confessing in March his responsibility in the Estelle Mouzin affair: "I recognize there a being who is no longer there by my fault, ”he told the judge.
He had also considered "relevant" the fact that the body of the girl could be in one of his former properties in the Ardennes.
In August, before the examining magistrate, Monique Olivier, who had already accused her ex-husband of the murder of the girl, had specified that he had kidnapped, raped and killed her in a house in Ville-sur- Lumes (Ardennes).
The corpse still untraceable
This house, which had belonged to Fourniret's late sister, as well as the castle of Sautou - a former property of the killer - were the subject of searches at the end of June by the investigators, who however did not allow to find the corpse. .
The serial killer, indicted in November for "kidnapping and forcible confinement followed by death" in this case, was heard again by the magistrate at the end of August, but nothing filtered out from this hearing.
