Revelations concerning Sylvain L., the main suspect in the disappearance of Héléna Cluyou, were made in the columns of Le Parisien this Thursday, February 9. Relatives spoke of an evening that particularly marked them.
Héléna Cluyou, 20, has not given any sign of life since the night of this Saturday January 28 to Sunday January 29, according to the Finistère national police. The young woman disappeared in Brest and a call for witnesses was quickly launched. This Thursday, February 9, Sylvain L., the main suspect died and it is also a charred body which was found in a forest. Is it that of the young woman? Subsequently, it was in the columns of Le Parisien that revelations concerning him were made. In recent days, it is the colleagues, acquaintances and ex-girlfriends of the suspect who have been questioned by the investigators. “He had a respect for girls close to nil“, first said a young woman before adding: “He sometimes had several girlfriends in the same bar and played (rather well) on all fronts…“. An evening friend also specifies: “He was not necessarily aggressive, but really disturbed and heavy with the girls“before evoking a”descent into hell“by Sylvain L.”In recent years, he had become sadder, even more immersed in cocaine and alcohol. It was getting unhealthy, so he only had acquaintances… and not really friends.“. This same person then recalled an evening that degenerated: “One evening, he locked his guests in his home, when they had expressed the wish to leave. He locked the door. It was shocking“, he concluded.
This affair took a new turn at the beginning of the week. Two of Sylvain L.’s relatives, his brother and his sister-in-law, went to the police station to express their concern. The main suspect made very disturbing remarks. The facts date back to Friday February 3 when Sylvain L. contacted his brother to explain to him his intention to end his life. When they arrive at his home, they find him in a daze and Sylvain quickly becomes a suspect when he explains that he “did something stupid“then ensuring that it is”of an accident”. Wanting to know more, his brother questions him. To which the principal concerned responds: “The case that everyone has been talking about in Brest for five days“. Quickly hospitalized, he made a second suicide attempt the next day and he died this Thursday, February 9, without having been able to be heard by the investigators. Aged 36, Sylvain L. has no criminal record. He is, however, known for theft cases. He worked as a cook in an establishment and it is a disturbing portrait that has been drawn. Indeed, his colleagues and friends have described him as someone “unstable, limitless when partying but not violent“. Is he at the origin of the disappearance of Héléna Cluyou? What really happened?

The medical examiner came to the scene.”he continued before adding: “An autopsy will be performed to try to determine the cause of death. Samples will be taken for the purposes of genetic analyzes intended in particular to confirm the identity of the victim.“, he concluded. As a reminder, Sylvain L.’s car had been found burnt. As Le Parisien explains, the main suspect was seen on the train “to buy a can of gasoline on February 1“. Did he want to remove all the evidence?
