• Visée par une tentative d’assassinat, une femme avait été gravement brûlée dans l’incendie de sa maison en 2019 dans la Sarthe.
  • Quatre personnes, dont son mari, sont jugées depuis ce vendredi devant la cour d’assises au Mans.
  • Le procès se tient jusqu’au 27 janvier.

Elle avait échappé de peu à la mort, restant pendant plusieurs mois dans le coma. En avril 2019, une femme avait été gravement brûlée dans l’incendie de sa maison à La Fléche (Sarthe). L’enquête avait permis de révéler qu’un projet criminel se cachait en fait derrière ce sinistre. Depuis ce vendredi, quatre personnes comparaissent ainsi pour tentative d’assassinat devant la cour d’assises de la Sarthe au Mans.

The main defendant is the victim's husband, with whom he had lived for more than twenty years and with whom he had five children.

Aged 49, he is accused of having set fire to his home or of having ordered this fire with the aim of killing his companion.

The main defendant victim of a clinical trial

The individual had been publicized in spite of himself in 2016 when he had been the victim of a clinical trial carried out at the Biotrial laboratory in Rennes.

During this trial, one of the participants had died while the accused had been hospitalized in a state described as “severe” from which he kept the after-effects.

Recognized as a disabled worker following this accident, he had since been waiting for compensation of 25,000 euros.

According to investigators, Biotrial's compensation could also be at the origin of the assassination attempt.

Three other people appear alongside him before the Assize Court: a 45-year-old woman with whom he had a relationship, her 29-year-old son and a relative of the mother and her son, aged 24 years.

All are prosecuted for attempted murder or complicity in attempted murder, as well as destruction of property by a dangerous means.

The trial is scheduled until January 27.
