Twenty years have been required against Touria Rafjaoui, the ex-wife of Frédéric Guittard, a sentence consistent with that pronounced at first instance, and 30 years against his co-accused, Jean-François Ornano.
The latter was sentenced to 15 years by the Sarthe assizes in February 2019. The verdict of the Maine-et-Loire Assize Court, which has been examining this case since December 7, is expected Thursday.
On June 29, 2015, Frédéric Guittard, a former executive officer of an artisanal charcuterie company in Connerré (Sarthe), was found dead, killed by three bullets, in his apartment completely turned over.
According to the investigation, a dispute over the division of property and the amount of pensions to be paid to the children had broken out between him and his partner.
She would have called on two Corsican friends and sought to recover a file compromising on her sex life, that her husband, with whom she frequented swingers clubs, threatened to reveal.
But after 13 days of debates, the Assize Court of Sarthe had not managed to designate the shooter.
Originally, three defendants were referred to the assizes.
But, one of the co-defendants, Magalie Pinardaud, was found dead in her apartment in Ajaccio ten days before the first trial in Le Mans, probably a natural death or suicide, according to the local prosecution.
For Me Pascal Rouiller, defender of Jean-François Ornano, "
we are not able to say, which of Jean-François Ornano or Magalie Pinardaud, fired
".
For his part, Me Sébastien Balzarini-Noachovitch asked for the release of Touria Rafjaoui on Wednesday.
"
She never wanted her husband dead
," he said.
