Philippe Ohren, 63, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder of Corinne Pitallier, his partner of 40 years. The victim had mentioned the idea of a separation a month before.
The accused, who had not known his biological father, had been rejected from the family home by his adoptive father. His own son came to the court to describe his “absolute happiness” which is now impossible despite his recent paternity. “The person who took his mother’s life was his father. How do we live? Well, we survive,” confides his lawyer, Me Céline Party.
