the dramatic childhood of one of the suspects
Jessica, one of the two “cutters” is judged this November 15, 2022 in Rouen with a friend for having cut out the companion of the latter. The defendant went back on his abominable childhoodwhich marked him for a long time. “My stepfather was mean, sadistic, violent, alcoholic.”
Jessica unties the words. The room, packed, no longer breathes. “He pissed me off because I can’t write a letter to get housing. I was four years old.” The touching started then, then the rapes under the eyes of his mother, who said nothing.
Jessica, soon to be 40 years old, built herself in this total violence. Today, she has three children, and she cries when she talks about it. When the president of the court asks him “what impact this childhood had on his relationship with others?” Jessica, massive, tight in her gray jacket, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, answers that she “can’t bear to see someone unhappy”. “People’s problems are as if they were my own. When someone asks me for a favor, it’s rare that I say no. I bend over backwards for peoplehere it is”, she explains in front of the Assize Court.
Until killing and dismembering the spouse of a friend? This is the mystery of this case. Mystery all the deeper because the two women in the box may not be that close. Most of Jessica’s friends don’t know Celine.
