Troadec case: traces of blood, burning of the bodies, the word of the experts.

by NewsPress articlesUncategorized

The trial of Hubert Caouissin and Lydie Troadec continued with the testimony of experts who worked on the case.

France info : 29.06.2021

The trial of Hubert Caouissin and Lydie Troadec is taking place in Nantes at the assizes of Loire Atlantique until July 9, 2021.

This Tuesday, June 29, the day was devoted to the account of the experts who worked on the quadruple murder of the Troadec family in Orvault, near Nantes, in February 2017.

The hearing resumed at 9:15 a.m. The president of the assize court, Karine Laborde, calls Pascal Olivier, a DNA expert.

Pascal Olivier quickly explains the principle of DNA. How it can exclude an individual with affirmative when the general characteristics are different. But two individuals can have a close genetic profile. That it is then necessary to refine.

“We used a reagent specific to the Y chromosome to bring out particularities of the DNA. We used Bluestar as a reagent for human blood. It reacts particularly to red blood cells.

Three locations, the crime scene, the 308 car, and the farm.

“We didn’t have a body. From accessories, clothing, we were able to find four DNAs, and verify that they belonged to the missing persons. With washcloths or toothbrushes found at the homes of children we could easily validate these DNA.

“For the crime scene, we found Brigitte’s blood in the garage, the master bedroom, Sebastian’s bedroom, the bathroom, mixed with two others, Pascal and Sebastian.

“Pascal was found in the garage, the entrance, the bedroom, the staircase”.

“Sebastien, the bed in his room, on a smartphone, in the garage, on a switch in the bathroom. The media reported his guilt, we were able to forget this hypothesis,” he says, continuing, “under Charlotte’s wardrobe we found the genetic fingerprint of Brigitte and Pascal.

"There is a probability of error of 1 in 29 million billion"

“In the kitchen, we have bowls of mugs, we have on a glass two prints in mixture. One of Sebastian, the other unknown. Which turned out to be that of Hubert Caouissin. There is a probability of error of 1 in 29 million billion. We also found Hubert Caouissin’s DNA on the blue chair in the garden.

“There are few places where we find Charlotte’s DNA. On Charlotte’s stethoscope in particular (it’s not the one Hubert Caouissin is talking about), on the parts that are put in the ears”.

“In the vehicle 308, we had 76 samples, there we find the genetic fingerprints of the victims out of blood traces, we find the DNA of Hubert Caouissin on the ventilation control and on the interior mirror “.

With the Bluestar, we find the genetic prints of Pascal, Brigitte, and Sébastien

Alleged serial killer: new excavations and Bluestar in the orchard

by NewsPress articles

Could the crime scene at Mare-d'Albert be hiding other sordid secrets?

In any case, this case, which has been in the news since Friday 28 May, is far from over. New searches in the letchi orchard that the alleged serial killer Umyad Ebrahim was guarding are planned for Tuesday 1 June. A Bluestar exercise will also be carried out in the room in the orchard to search for traces of blood.

During a raid on the orchard yesterday, Monday 31 May, officers of the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT) found a pair of sandals and a mobile phone. At present, they do not know who the owner is. The recent discovery of the bodies of two women in their forties buried in a letchia orchard has shocked their relatives. The recent discovery of the bodies of two women in their forties buried in a lettuce orchard shocked their relatives, and they wondered if the alleged murderer, who is in a psychiatric hospital, was hunting for prey on his Facebook page. Would he have made other victims?

Umyad Ebrahim’s mobile phone has been sent to the IT Unit to be checked. His messages will be decrypted to trace witnesses, who will be called to shed light on the case. Investigators suspect that he confided in “friends”.

Flashback. Last October, Zahira Ramputh, 40, met Umyad Ebrahim, 38, a great romantic on social networks. After a few weeks, she moved in with him and believed that the 30-year-old was genuinely in love with her, but the mother of a 17-year-old daughter was sadly mistaken. In January, an argument broke out between the couple. The 40-year-old had learned of the existence of another young woman in the life of the alleged murderer. The two women were bickering over who was the one chosen by Umyad Ebrahim.

But shortly afterwards, the young woman, a woman named Shenaz, had to back out. The investigators suspect that it was the existence of this other young woman that started it all.

Under psychiatric treatment

On the other hand, investigators also met with Umyad Ebrahim’s treating doctors at the psychiatric hospital, who say that he is still undergoing treatment and that they cannot comment immediately on whether the alleged murderer will be able to face an interrogation.

The story came to light a week earlier. Umyad Ebrahim, a 38-year-old psychiatric patient admitted to the High Security Ward of Brown-Sequard Hospital (BSH) was visited by a relative. He asks him to sign his discharge from BSH. He explains that since the death of Zahira Ramputh he has been suffering from depression. A song posted on his Facebook page about a young man killing a young woman he was madly in love with clicked in the head of this relative. He then contacted Zahira Ramputh’s relatives in Vallée-Pitot, who were not aware of the news of her death. One of the victim’s sisters went to the registry office to consult the death certificate and then to the police to report her disappearance.

Pressed with questions by MCIT investigators, Umyad Ebrahim said Zahira Ramputh committed suicide and that he buried her in a place near his home in Mare d’Albert when the body started to decompose. He led investigators there on Friday. After several hours of digging, the remains of the 40-year-old from Vallée-Pitot wrapped in a sheet were unearthed in the lettuce orchard.

In the same evening, the relatives of Hema Coonjoobeharry, a resident of Bambous who had been missing since 10 May, learned of the news through the media. They were aware of the affair between the 40-year-old and Umyad Ebrahim and had reported her disappearance on 22 May. They immediately alerted the MCIT and the investigators again arrived at the BSH. The alleged murderer then confessed to killing her by suffocating her because she did not want to go home. She had joined him in the shack in the orchard on 10 May, her 40th birthday. After three days, he asked the Bambous resident to go home but she refused, he said. The police found his body buried a few metres from the first one in the same letch orchard.

The suspect was examined by a psychiatrist and a police doctor. A report on his condition is expected.

Police brought Agostina’s alleged femicide to Neuquén

by NewsPress articles

A commission of the local police force transferred Juan Carlos Monsalve from Viedma, accused of being the perpetrator of the femicide.

Agustín Martínez

LMCipolletti : 30.05.2021

This Sunday the second person arrested for the femicide of Agostina Gisfman was transferred from the town of Viedma to the capital of Neuquén. This is Juan Carlos Monsalve, accused of being the perpetrator of the femicide of the 22 year old girl from Cipole, who was murdered and then burnt in a rubbish dump in Centenario.

Agostina went to a meeting, which Gustavo Chianesse had arranged for her, at the roundabout at Rutas 151 and 22 in Cipolletti on Friday 14 May at 7pm.

To do so, she asked an acquaintance to take her to the agreed place and once there, she got into a dark vehicle. That was the last time Agostina Gisfman was seen alive.

Investigators believe that the young woman was killed with a stabbing weapon on board the vehicle, which evidence suggests was the Chevrolet Tracker van seized last week where human blood was found after a bluestar test.

The femicides then went to a rubbish dump in the town of Centenario, where they dumped the young woman’s body and burned it. It was found there the following day by a person passing through the area.

To date, two people have been arrested for Agostina’s femicide: Gustavo Chianese, already accused as a necessary participant, for being the one who handed over the girl when they agreed to meet; and Juan Carglos Monsalve, suspected of being the perpetrator, taking into account how the telephone antennas located him at the meeting place and the place where he was found.

These were reached as a result of key wiretaps that link them both to the planning of the young woman’s femicide, after Monsalve had a conflict with his wife as a result of the encounter he had had with Agostina in April. When he was unable to locate her in order to “kill her”, as the prosecutor’s office stated in its theory of the case, he asked Chianese to look for her.

It is even known that Monsalve had rented the Tracker on the same day of the femicide, hours before, that is, on Friday 14 May. The same dark vehicle was captured together with another lighter-coloured one by a camera in a house, near the area where the young woman’s body was dumped.

Monsalve had been arrested on 18 May in the town of San Javier, in Río Negro. Finally, this Sunday, his extradition was finalised and therefore, a commission of the Neuquén police travelled to the capital of the neighbouring province to bring Agostina’s alleged femicide to Neuquén. Now, the prosecutor’s office is expected to request a hearing for the formulation of charges in the framework of the case.

Galveston AA group leader’s killer is still out there after 2 years

Galveston AA group leader's killer is still out there after 2 years

ABC 13 : 29.06.2020 [United-States/Texas]

Donna Brown walked into the Alcoholics Anonymous building in Galveston to prepare for the meeting she planned to host that afternoon, and was murdered.

It was an AA volunteer who found Donna laying in the doorway. The 79 year-old was still alive. The volunteer called 911.

“She’s laying here motionless and there’s blood on the floor,” the caller told dispatch. The caller initially thought Donna had slipped and fallen. When paramedics arrived, Donna still had a faint pulse. EMTs loaded her into an ambulance and when they cut away Donna’s shirt, they realized she hadn’t fallen. She had been stabbed. In Ohio, Elizabeth Rogers got the call about her great-aunt.

“How anybody could stab somebody that many times and make them look like that? How somebody could do that – to put them through so much pain,” says Rogers. “She just looked grotesque. Such a beautiful woman and she looked so incredibly awful.”

Rogers bought a plane ticket to Texas and less than 24 hours later, she was standing in the ICU, saying goodbye to the woman she had been in awe of her whole life.

Donna had been the “cool aunt.” She was a Pan Am stewardess in the sixties, jet-setting all over the world. She never married and lived in West Palm Beach for most of her life. Rogers says Donna made money in stocks and investing well – progressive for a single woman at that time. But, about 20 years ago, Donna made a bad investment that changed her life, Rogers says.

“She lost all of her money. She, instead of filing bankruptcy, she just paid everything off and started over. She came out here and she pulled herself up by her straps,” Rogers says.

When Donna lost that money, she moved to Galveston and lived modestly.

“It’s such an amazing story of how you can make it work. She didn’t bring in a lot of money each month. Very little, actually,” Rogers says. “She didn’t care about the material things. Her focus was on helping people.”

That’s what brought Donna to Alcoholics Anonymous. She organized a “women only” group that met Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. and women showed up week after week. They grew to depend on Donna.

Grainy surveillance video from an apartment complex across the street captured the last moments of Donna’s life. It’s never been seen by the public, until now.

The video shows 3:43 p.m. when Donna pulls up in her white hatchback. Two minutes later, you see her cross the street. She walks through the mint-green colored side door of the AA building on the corner of 33rd Street and Avenue P . After Donna walks in, you see the door open a second time.

“You see what appears to be a struggle in that doorway, ” says Detective Michelle Sollenberger with the Galveston Police Department. “Then, the door slams closed. And we know that Donna was found by her associate at the AA Hall right inside that doorway.”

Why would anyone want to kill Donna?

She was known as a feisty woman. Police say some fellow group members described her as “cantankerous.”

“Donna was known for running men out of the meeting hall for the women’s meeting on Sunday afternoon,” Sollenberger says. “Everybody said: if there was a man in that meeting hall, Donna would have run him off. She would have probably been hollering at him and telling him to get out of there. Unfortunately, this person has a very volatile temper and snapped.”

Donna isn’t the only one seen on that surveillance video. So is the killer, detectives think.

A person is seen entering the other side of the AA building, two hours before Donna showed up. He appears to be wearing black or dark jeans and has on a backpack.

This is what sets Donna’s unsolved murder apart from other cold cases. Detective Sollenberger thinks she has the murderer: she just needs more evidence to connect the dots.

“It’s so frustrating. It’s really so frustrating,” she says.

One man may be the key to solving this. We’ll call him Scott. That’s not his real name. He didn’t want to be identified, because the killer is still out there. Scott says he’s sure he was face-to-face with Donna’s killer hours before she was murdered.

In the surveillance video, you see Scott ride up to the AA hall on his bike, 26 minutes after the first man walked in. Scott parks and goes into the brick building.

“When I went inside, there was a gentleman that was passed out-not passed out, but he was laying on one of the benches inside,” Scott says. “My bag was next to him as was all my stuff. The bag was opened and all my stuff-everything had, you know-somebody had gone through my stuff.”

Scott says he and the man got into it.

“This gentleman sat up and said, ‘I went through all your stuff to make sure there wasn’t a bomb in it.’ And he just kind of did a little chuckle and it really got me hot, you know?” Scott says. “This guy is an intimidating guy, kind of a scary person. He’s a big guy. He’s young and probably twice my size and he’s fit. He (was) just really aggressive, very animated, very aggravated.”

Scott grabbed his bag and got out of there. Surveillance video shows him inside for a total of two minutes. You see him ride off on his bike 90 minutes before Donna arrived.

A couple days after her murder, Scott worked up the courage to tell police what had happened.

“He was able to identify the person as somebody he knew from the meetings. But, the nature of the AA program is to be anonymous, and so, a lot of the individuals don’t know each other,” Sollenberger says.

 

That made Sollenberger’s job harder but not impossible. She tracked down the person Scott says he thinks he spoke with in the AA building before Donna was attacked. Sollenberger had to figure out: was he the killer? Was he the man in the video wearing black pants and the backpack? We’re not naming him because he’s not a suspect. He’s a person of interest.

Two days after Donna’s murder, the man was arrested on an unrelated warrant. Police collected his clothes and shoes. CSI techs sprayed a special liquid called Bluestar on the man’s tennis shoes. The liquid glows blue under a blacklight if someone’s DNA is present. His shoes lit up. But, testing at the crime lab can’t confirm whose DNA is present.

“It was really frustrating because we thought that bloody shoe was going to be the missing piece of our puzzle.”

Sollenberger says the man with the blue shoe told her he had an alibi. He was at church about a mile from the AA hall when Donna was killed. But Sollenberger says the man told her he wasn’t there.

Weeks passed-and then, another break. A neighbor living near the AA building called police with new surveillance video from his Ring doorbell. It showed a man with dark pants and a backpack coming from the direction of the hall, five minutes after Donna was murdered.

Sollenberger released that video exclusively to ABC13, hoping someone sees it and can identify the man by name.

“I think that would be the linchpin in this case,” she says. “We’ve exhausted the forensics and we have essentially run out of leads because of the anonymity involved in some of the witnesses and people involved in the AA hall.”

A few months away from the second anniversary of Donna’s death, Elizabeth Rogers flew from Ohio to Texas again, to visit the AA building for the first time.

“It’s a little surreal. It’s good though. It’s really good,” Rogers told us. “It brings it all back. It makes me want to resolve this for her.”

Rogers met Scott, who says he thinks about that day every day.

“That could have been me. That very well could have been me,” he says.

Before he met Donna, Scott had been struggling to stay clean. Now, he has a job, he has a home, he has a life-he says it’s all thanks to Donna:

“God brought that lady to my life. That was not by mistake. That happened for a reason. She’s a hero to me. I don’t even know her. But she kept me praying and that’s what’s kept me alive.”

Since the pandemic hit, Sollenberger says she’s had more time to work on cold cases like Donna’s. But, interviewing people in person can be tough with a mask.

Coronavirus stopped AA meetings in Galveston for a while. Donna would have struggled with that.

“She was just the person who happened to be there. It would have been anyone who walked through that door,” Sollenberger says.

Someone knows who killed Donna Brown-knows why it happened and where the murder weapon is hidden.

“To believe the suspect didn’t tell somebody is a little farfetched. I think he had to have relayed this information to somebody at this point,” Sollenberger says.

Donna’s family is asking for your help. Because that’s what Donna stood for: she helped people who, in many cases, didn’t have anyone. Donna wouldn’t let them be forgotten.

“I’m going to keep at it,” Rogers says. “I’m going to keep at it no matter what it takes. No matter what it takes for this town. Because it has to be solved.”

If you have any information about Donna’s case, or, if you can identify the man by name wearing dark pants and the backpack in the Ring video, call Galveston police at

409-765-3702.

RCN Radio has learned that Oscar Eduardo Orjuela Pinzón, had tried to erase the trace of the victim’s blood, but the Public Prosecutor’s Office, with the Bluestar Forensic Reagent, managed to discover clothes, walls and places in the house that had traces of the crime.

The judge finally assured that it was the most difficult hearing he had had to preside over since he started his career in the judiciary and called for justice to be done with the “monster who disguised himself as a stepfather”

Narumi case: investigators accuse the main suspect

by NewsPress articles

The Chilean ex-boyfriend of this Japanese student who disappeared in Besançon in 2016 fled to his country. The French justice has just revealed accusing elements on his responsibility.

Le Parisien, 

The Chilean ex-boyfriend of this Japanese student who disappeared in Besançon in 2016 fled to his country. The French justice has just revealed accusing elements on his responsibility.

Certainly, the key piece is missing: a body. But for the rest, the Narumi case is “a puzzle in which all the pieces have been reconstituted, and fit together perfectly,” in the words of the public prosecutor of Besançon, Etienne Manteaux.

This Thursday morning, the magistrate took the floor for a final press conference regarding the disappearance of this 21-year-old Japanese student on December 5, 2016. If one were to push the analogy to a game of cards that would be played between the French and Chilean authorities, one would slip that at the time the investigation is completed, Étienne Manteaux has shot down a game provided to obtain the extradition of Nicolas Zepeda Contreras, the main suspect in the murder of the young woman.

The request was sent this Thursday to the French Ministry of Justice, and will then pass through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will forward it to its Chilean counterparts. In addition to a 27-page summary, the Chileans will have the entire investigation file, translated into Spanish, at their disposal, and could respond within a few months. Zepeda’s presence at the trial, which should be held with or without him, in 2020, will then be at stake. Everything leads us to believe that he premeditated his act
 
In the absence of an extradition agreement between the two countries, the possibility that he will be handed over to France rests solely on Chile’s “international courtesy”. And the least we can say is that, until now, the Chileans have not really shown it.
 
In his country, Zepeda has never been questioned in court. As for the possibility that he might be “denounced” by the French, in order to be judged in Santiago, the Chilean authorities dismissed it out of hand.

This attitude is difficult to understand, since the case, even without the weight of an autopsy, is overwhelming on paper. If the extradition request evacuates the prosecution for “kidnapping and sequestration”, focusing on the “murder”, it is because everything suggests that the young Chilean premeditated his act. With Narumi, he says he lived “19 months and 16 days” of a love affair that began in February 2015, when he was studying at the same university as her, the one in Tsukuba, not far from Tokyo. He dates the end of it to October 6, 2016.

A few weeks earlier, Narumi arrived in Besançon for a year. A student with a bright future, all her professors judge. The best proof of this is that she has a scholarship from the extremely selective Japanese government. “Her departure from Japan created an uncomfortable situation within our couple,” Zepeda will euphemize the only time he will speak, on his own initiative, on December 30, 2016, in front of the Chilean police.

Jealous of a French student

After the fact, in view of the expert assessments conducted by investigators of the PJ of Besançon, it will appear that 980 messages were exchanged between Narumi and Nicolas at this time. Only on September 5, 2016, day when their rupture seems to be precipitated, the two address 646 messages in three hours. He is bitter. Accuses Narumi of having “destroyed everything”.
 
On September 7, in a video posted on Dailymotion, the Chilean is this time threatening: “It must build trust. She has to pay”, he says in front of the camera, with a dark look in his eyes.
 
The previous autumn, he had introduced her to his family during a month’s vacation in Chile, and announced to his relatives that he wanted to make a life with her. But in this early October 2016, nothing goes anymore. The young Japanese woman obviously has another vision of her own future. “I am not in France, and you take me for an idiot,” Nicolas reproaches him. He wants as proof the male frequentations of the young woman, in particular a certain Arthur.

PODCAST: Naomi, the unpunished crime

Pregnant with her presumed murderer?

As luck would have it, this young Frenchman has just returned from a year of study in Japan, in Tsukuba. He befriended Narumi in Franche-Comté and Zepeda rightly senses that a romance is brewing. He orders Narumi to delete Arthur from her Facebook contacts, along with two other friends. This one refuses. “I wanted to get married, to have a house, to have children with you…” says Zepeda.

On the other hand, Narumi reproaches him ” to spoil (his) studies in France “. Especially: “I will never forget that you put me pregnant”, she exposes to him, deploring that the Chilean does not help her financially on this point, which crystallized broad investigations. Because in view of the conversations, it is well in the present that speaks then Narumi, whose investigators tried, on the administrative level, as near the hospitals of the sector, to have confirmation of her pregnancy, without succeeding in it.

On October 8, a last exchange between the two young people ends with an “I love you” from the Chilean, which sounds like an epitaph.

“That’s the reason why we are going to conduct, starting on Sunday, a search with a lot of means, like Bluestar, to reveal the blood traces.”
