Jonathan Boillet, 36, has been on trial since Tuesday at the Pas-de-Calais Assizes for the murder in November 2020 of his partner Sandy Cucheval, 33. The day before, faced with the accumulation of evidence, he had confessed to his crime.

“I really have a blackout,” he maintains, claiming to have woken up at the time of the explosion. But “it was really me who doused her with gasoline, you can’t say otherwise”
