The former mason Guerric Jehanno was sentenced, this Wednesday, to thirty years of criminal imprisonment by the Assize Court of the Tarn for the kidnapping, the rape and the murder of Amandine Estrabaud, a 30-year-old supervisor whose body has never been found.
A sentence in accordance with the requisitions of Advocate General Bernard Lavigne, who had called on the jurors to trust their intimate conviction, in this trial without body and without material evidence but with a bundle of clues which all converge on the accused of 32 years old.
At the end of the debates, he again proclaimed his innocence, in vain.
Troubling confessions
On June 18, 2013 Amandine Estrabaud, who was returning home on foot, in Roquecourbe, a town in the south of Albi, had crossed paths with Guerric Jehanno.
The latter, who knew her, had taken her hitchhiking.
It is in front of her house that she will be seen one last time by her neighbor who describes a man resembling Guerric Jehanno.
After the young woman's disappearance, he had behaved strangely on a construction site and made repeated and disturbing confessions to his mother, his best friend, but especially to four fellow inmates after his indictment.
