"It is December 25, 2013 in the car of the Caouissin-Troadec couple. Hubert is driving, Lydie is a passenger, their little boy sitting in the back, and in the background, we can make out a well-known Beatles tune, quickly covered by the voice of the mother of the family. "Ah motherfuckers, a selfish finished, that sickens me", she explodes in front of the lowered barrier of the house. Obviously, her brother Pascal did it on purpose, she thinks. “Don't you think he could have opened it?” She asks. The child repeats an insult, before his mother laughs back at him. “It stays between us eh?
You don't tell him. "
"She's not just a follower"
Return to the courtroom.
The effect of the recording is devastating for Lydie Troadec, whose quavering voice today rings quite out of tune after the very offensive tone heard in this scene eight years earlier.
"Obviously, she is not only a follower", estimates at the microphone of Europe 1 Me Olivier Pacheu, one of the lawyers of the civil party.
"The image it gives before the Assize Court is very different from the one it most certainly gave at the material time. What emerges from these recordings is real hatred," he continues. .
Obviously she refuses this word hatred, because she understood well that it would be completely unfavorable to her in the perspective of the decision which will be rendered by the Assize Court in the days to come.
Tuesday, place for the pleadings of the civil parties and the requisitions. The verdict is expected Wednesday evening. Prosecuted for altering the scene of the crime and concealing corpses, Lydie faces a maximum of 3 years in prison. The alleged murderer faces life imprisonment.
