Simone Weber was sentenced in 1991 to twenty years of criminal imprisonment for the murder and dismemberment, with a concrete grinder, of her former lover, Bernard Hettier. In Cannes, where she had lived since her release, she always dreamed of the review of her conviction and persisted in denying everything outright.
She stood up like before the assize court and denounced a fabric of lies. The time spent has done nothing. His fight continued until his death on April 11, 2024 at the age of 94. She died this Thursday, April 11 in Cannes, she took her secret with her. No confession, no weakness. She was tough, mysterious, complex and dissembling, this woman with many faces, according to investigators. She never confessed, she never confessed. She always denied everything outright, “with force and conviction”, in the words of Gilbert Thiel, the judge who investigated her controversial case. She has always continued to proclaim her innocence, she has never confessed to anything.
