Nicolas H. was indicted for the murder of his 31-year-old partner in Pas-de-Calais.
He only discovered on Tuesday that the woman he wanted to join did not exist. He was previously "in something which, on a psychological level, was completely messed up", his lawyer, Fabienne Roy-Nansion, told AFP. From now on, “he realizes the horror of the thing”. “He ruined everyone’s lives, including his own,” laments the lawyer.
