[HIGHLIGHTS] “It was really me who doused her with gasoline”: faced with the evidence, the accused admits to having burned his partner alive

Jonathan Boillet, 36, has been on trial since Tuesday at the Pas-de-Calais Assizes for the murder of his partner. Sandy Cucheval, 33, was burned alive at the age of 33 in the car where the couple was.

The victim herself assured a police officer, while she was lying seriously burned on the floor of a garage, that Jonathan Boillet had wanted to kill her by dousing her with gasoline. On average, a feminicide occurs every three days in France.
