Aveyron: former butcher, he cuts and boils the body of a man. The victim's corpse was dismembered, and his charred remains were scattered on land.

Philippe Schneider was indicted and imprisoned, with two other people, in February 2023, in the investigation into the murder of a sixty-year-old, whose body was cut into pieces and cremated after death. The public prosecutor requested a six-month extension of his incarceration, describing the acts committed as “sordid crimes” motivated by nefarious motives.
