The murder of Gregory Villemin

Thanks, Andrew. I don't know why my searches didn't come up with that. I wonder if the killer (assuming he is still alive) is subject to a lifetime ban on identifying him, as with the James Bulger killers and Mary Bell in the U K.

Another case from France in slightly more recent years which has never been solved.

I've never heard of that case either. Very sad and mysterious.

A touch of the Patsy Ramsey/Mothers Handwriting in it as well.

A very bizarre one.

I read a book on it within a few years of the event and yes, it was my impression that the mother was the most likely suspect.

Just had a quick view: interesting case!
And I have some ideas, but need to do a bit more of research ...
I agree, on first view, your idea about the mother.

ETA if your comment was about the Villemin mother.

Pfew, that was a long read, especially in French.
So far it seems it's going into 2 directions: the guy who was at first supposed to be the killer and was shot by the father ... and, more likely to me, it was the mother. This confirmed, inasmuch as possible, by photographs I've seen from her today.

Something VERY bizarre  IMO , is that YEARS after his death and burial the little kids remains were dug up and cremated ...
