Isabelle and Jean-Pierre Fouillot have decided to give Alexia her maiden name on her gravestone. Jonathan Daval, her husband, will be tried for the murder of the young woman from November 16 to 20.
Three years after the murder of Alexia Daval, her parents changed her name on her gravestone. Isabelle and Jean-Pierre Fouillot have indeed decided to give her back her maiden name. The mention "Alexia Daval" has thus been replaced by "Alexia Fouillot".
A symbolic gesture for the parents of the young woman, murdered in October 2017 by her spouse. Next week, from November 16 to 20, the trial of Jonathan Daval will be held in the Vesoul Assize Court. An event that was all the more difficult for Isabelle and Jean-Pierre Fouillot, because they appreciated and trusted their son-in-law … before discovering his true face. "At the beginning, he is a boy that we loved, then, over time, we discovered a character that we did not know", Alexia's mother said in an interview with France Info. “They say love makes you blind. But it's true that we were right in the middle of the system. We never saw it coming, that's what we blame ourselves and my wife. We would have liked there to be a trigger effect on sentences, events … but no, never, never. None of his lies were detected, both before and after the tragedy ", added her husband.
Today, they hope that Jonathan Daval will be found guilty of murdering their daughter, although that will not change their pain. "It is we who have taken the most, it is we who have taken life", they say. Although there is Covid-19, Alexia's family members may be present at the trial.
