A scenario worthy of a black novel, where sex, drugs and money intertwine. The truth begins to emerge, following the discovery Monday, February 17, of the body of Jorge Brion, 53-year-old dentist practicing in Dourdan, in his bourgeois home of the XIXth in Coulombs (Eure-et-Loir). His body was wrapped in an interlacing of tarpaulin, mattress covers, sheets and quilts, an electric cable and a rope.
This Monday, at a press conference, the prosecutor of the Republic of Chartres, Rémi Coutin, confirmed that a suspect, Anatole Buyck, had been charged and referred by the prosecution of Chartres for murder and theft in a dwelling. Placed in pre-trial detention, he was imprisoned in the Orleans remand center. Anatole Buyck, 30, was the lover of Jorge Brion, whom he had probably met for several weeks after meeting him on a gay dating site.
During his seven “river hearings”, explains the Chartres prosecutor, the suspect contradicted himself several times. According to his version, this Sunday, February 16, the two lovers were engaging in a sexual game "of dominant-dominated type". "He confusedly explained that they were both under the influence of drugs," said the prosecutor. Wanting to cut the rope to which Jorge Brion was attached, he says he accidentally and fatally injured him with a knife on his left wrist. "
A version "hardly compatible" with the size of the wound, estimates the parquet floor of Chartres, which envisages a premeditation of the act. According to our information, the suspect bought the tarp and the ropes in a large area very shortly before the murder. Presented before an investigating judge, Anatole this time remained silent. "He says he is in denial, refoulement," said the prosecutor.
Already convicted six times for theft and scams
Born in Buenos Aires, the dentist had lived in Coulombs for ten years, at least on weekends, but had a practice in Dourdan (Essonne) where he had been practicing for two years. This Italo-Argentinian with a clean record had lived for several years in Barcelona, before settling in Essonne and then in Eure-et-Loir.
To find his murderer, the gendarmes of the Orleans search section deployed impressive means. Meticulous excavation of the garden, divers in the neighboring ponds, flying over a drone above the property, interviews with around forty people. Investigators were quick to take an interest in Anatole's profile. As early as Tuesday 18, they note that his telephone tolls at the crime scene the weekend of 16. By consulting the video surveillance of a grocery store in Nogent-le-Roi, they see Jorge and Anatole shopping.
Probably anxious, the suspect presents himself to the gendarmes during the week to inform them of his presence that weekend at Jorge's, explaining that he got wind of his death "by a friend". The gendarmes wish to hear him, but he seems to hesitate. Definitely, his profile is intriguing. Especially since Anatole has been sentenced at least six times between 2009 and 2018 for theft, fraud and the use of counterfeit checks. His victims? Most of the time, homosexuals with whom he had an affair.
Victim's goose sold on crime afternoon
Investigators arrested him Friday in the restaurant of Les Ulis (Essonne) where he works. During a search, objects of the victim - notably his wallet - were found at his home and in his garbage cans.

But the investigators make a much more incongruous discovery. On the afternoon of the crime, the suspect sold… a goose belonging to Jorge on the Le Bon Coin website. "This goose terrified him each time the victim came," said the prosecutor. In addition to the animal, Jorge's Volvo was sold or sold the same day. It has not yet been found.
One thing is certain, Sunday February 16, at noon, Jorge was still alive. The employee of the dental office of Dourdan, who had alerted the gendarmerie, claims to have reached him on the phone at that time. They then made an appointment for lunch. Jorge never went there.
