I made a request for replenishment on which there should be no problem. But the examining magistrate issued a rejection order which I immediately appealed to at the end of last week

, ”Gilles-Jean Portejoie told AFP. The former president of Clermont-Ferrand defends Séverine Morel and her children, widow and orphans of Lieutenant Cyrille Morel, one of the three gendarmes shot dead by Frédérik Limol on the night of December 22 to 23.

On the night of the tragedy, the 48-year-old man shot dead three gendarmes and seriously injured a fourth, before killing himself. The soldiers, attached to Ambert's brigade, had intervened to help his companion, victim of domestic violence and who had taken refuge on the roof of the house they occupied in an isolated hamlet. “

I am appalled, revolted. The murderer having committed suicide, there will be no trial,

”said Mr. Portejoie. "

It was agreed that we would have the right to a reconstruction to allow us to approach the truth more closely, so that part of the questions we are asking ourselves find a solution,

" continued the lawyer.

Questioned by AFP, the public prosecutor of Clermont-Ferrand, Eric Maillaud, affirmed that he would support the request for reconstitution "

when the chamber of the instruction examines the appeal in the coming days

". "

It is not legally useful but it is humanly desirable to allow families to mourn,

" he said.
