Pascal Lafolie(58岁)因1994年谋杀17岁的Nadege Desnoix案在法国Laon受审, Pascal Lafolie, 58, is on trial in Laon, France, for the 1994 murder of 17-year-old Nadege Desnoix, one of the country’s oldest cold cases to reach court. 在她位于Chateau-Thierry的高中附近发现她的尸体,身上有一根尼龙线和玫瑰;尸检显示没有发生性攻击。 Her body was found near her high school in Chateau-Thierry with a nylon cord and a rose; an autopsy showed no sexual assault. 直到2021年,她身上一根发带的DNA与Lafolie的DNA吻合,Lafolie的DNA是在另一宗家庭暴力案件中采集的。 The case remained unsolved for decades until 2021, when DNA from a hairband on her body matched Lafolie’s, whose DNA had been collected during a separate domestic violence case. Lafolie先前被判定犯有强奸和性攻击罪,最初供认有罪,但后来撤回了供述,声称由于据称他的兄弟在逮捕Lafolie之前死亡并被排除为嫌疑人,据称他的兄弟在袭击中头部受伤,因此造成记忆丧失。 Lafolie, previously convicted of rape and sexual assault, initially confessed but later retracted his statement, claiming memory lapses due to a head injury he says occurred during an alleged attack by his brother, who died before Lafolie’s arrest and has been ruled out as a suspect. 他否认犯有谋杀罪,声称他当时在场,但试图进行干预。 He denies committing the murder, stating he was present but tried to intervene. 预计将在星期三作出判决,如果Lafolie被定罪,将被判处30年监禁。 A verdict is expected Wednesday, with Lafolie facing up to 30 years in prison if convicted. 受害人的家属和法律代表对经过数十年的不确定之后所取得的进展表示情绪上宽慰。 The victim’s family and legal representatives have expressed emotional relief over the progress made after decades of uncertainty.
