Was the Muller couple's neighbor, indicted for their double murder by the Bordeaux prosecutor's office in November, the lover of Sylviane Muller?
Heard by the investigators and by the investigating judge, the father, unknown to the justice system until then, admitted the facts and pleaded the crime of passion during his hearings.
According to our sources, the suspect, accused of having repeatedly stabbed and stripped his victims naked, before raping the remains of Sylviane Muller, declared that he had a relationship with the latter, as revealed by
Sud Ouest
.
“Respectful”, “consistent”
and
“more than ever in the discussion”
despite
“his natural little talkativeness”
according to one of his lawyers, Me Anne-Charlotte Moulins-Bonnafous, David D. assures that he was visiting his lover on December 15, 2019, in Izon in Gironde, the evening of the crime.
Arriving at the couple's house around 11 p.m., he was surprised to discover Madame with her husband.
It was then that an altercation broke out between the two men and turned into a physical confrontation.
The knife collector, who came with one of them, would have killed his lover's husband and her, while she intervened.
Then, he fell asleep in the living room of the couple whom he did not intend to kill before returning to mop the crime scene.

Crime of passion?
While the psychological profile of the accused remains to be established, Maître Arnaud Dupin, who defends the two daughters of the victims, expresses serious doubts about the version of the facts that he presents and denounces
“fanciful statements without concrete elements”
.
“
Why did he come into the house with a knife?
Instead of inventing things like this story of romantic feelings, let us be given explanations on the barbarity of the gesture and on rape.
The jurors will judge objective elements,”
thunders the council.
David D.'s three lawyers, who refuse to speak on the merits of the case still under investigation, maintain that he
"does not intend to escape the responsibilities which are his"
.
Placed in pre-trial detention at the end of his police custody after his arrest in November, David D.
“knows why he finds himself deprived of his liberty and he accepts it”
, they still affirm in Le
Figaro
.
The investigations, entrusted to the research section of the Gironde gendarmerie, are continuing.
