Alexia, Our Daughter

On October 30, 2017, it was around 3 p.m. when a student gendarme discovered in a thicket, on the edge of the woods of Esmoulins, the lifeless and partially charred body of a young woman. For him, there is little doubt, it is most certainly Alexia Daval, who disappeared two days earlier. Confirmation of the victim's identity throws Alexia's parents into horror. For three months, their son-in-law, Jonathann, sits at their table, weeps with them, talks about Alexia, her absence, his love for her and the impossibility for him to live without her, while on the night of October 27-28, 2017, he beat her to death before strangling her, transporting her body to the forest and setting it on fire.
