2024 - Alain Delon: when he was suspected of having killed his wife Nathalie's lover

Married to Nathalie Delon for 4 years between August 1964 and February 1969, Alain Delon was suspected of being the murderer of Stevan Marković, murdered on September 22, 1968, who was none other than his wife’s lover at the time. .

True sacred monster of French cinema, Alain Delon has a very impressive filmography. Side private life, the actor can also boast of having lived beautiful love affairs with several stars. Nevertheless, Alain Delon married only one of his many companions. The lucky winner was Francine Canovas, better known as Nathalie Delon. Their union took place on August 13, 1964 in La Ville-aux-Clercs, a little over a month before the birth of their child: Anthony Delon. Finally, the two lovebirds separated on October 19, 1967, before officially ending their marriage on February 14, 1969.

During this period, Nathalie Delon had an extra-marital relationship with a certain Stevan Marković. This Yugoslav national was an employee of the Delon clan. Unfortunately, their romance will be short-lived, as the decomposed body of Stevan Marković was found in a landfill on October 1, 1968. Not having supported that his wife cheats on him with his employee, Alain Delon had decided to dismiss Stevan Marković, shortly before his assassination. Of course, the police opened an investigation to try to clarify what had happened to the Yugoslav national.

Alain Delon: suspected of the murder of his wife’s lover because of a letter

The autospy of his corpse revealed that Stevan Marković’s death had been particularly violent. The young man, aged only 31, is said to have died of blows to the head and neck, by “a blunt, bulky and heavy object“. Since Stevan Marković’s criminal record was quite extensive, authorities initially thought it was just a fight gone wrong, before starting to suspect Alain Delon.

In fact, the victim’s brother had filed 3 letters at the police station at the time. “Whatever happens, and for all the trouble that may be caused to me, please contact Alain Delon, his wife and his partner“, was it written in one of them. Questioned several times by the investigators in charge of the case, Alain Delon will finally escape prosecution.
