The verdict of reason, humanity and the law: thirty years of criminal imprisonment were pronounced Wednesday against Hubert Caouissin for the murder of Pascal, Brigitte, Charlotte and Sébastien Troadec, committed in February 2017 near Nantes.
His companion at the time, Lydie Troadec (Pascal's sister), was sentenced to three years in prison (the maximum sentence she incurred), including a suspended sentence for receiving corpses and altering the crime scene.
