“The results of genetic analyzes are known on the discovered body. They confirm that it is the body ofHelena Cluyou“, indicates the Brest prosecutor, Camille Miansoni, during a press conference organized this Saturday, February 11, 2023. The magistrate adds: “The autopsy, carried out yesterday, unfortunately did not make it possible to determine with precision the cause of death.. The body was burned after death. No trace of soot was found in the victim’s respiratory tract. Further analyzes will be carried out to try to determine the causes of death. It could take weeks. Investigations are continuing to try to determine the scenario that led to this death.“The case is far from closed.

Helena Cluyou was seen alive for the last time leaving a nightclub in the port of Brest on January 29. His charred body was finally discovered by the judicial police this Thursday in Argol during excavations. According to Camille Miansoni, the meeting with the main suspect must have taken place “around 6:44-45, after the last image of the victim.“Alleged Assassin Would Later Join”the Locmaria Plouzané sector” and hit the road the following Thursday, at dawn, in the direction of “Aulne maritime, Camfrout Hospital, Rosnoen, Pont de Buis, Dinéault.“According to the chronology established by the prosecutor, he would then have obtained four liters of gasoline from a service station.”The vehicle was set on fire overnight from Thursday to Friday. The results of the analyzes on the samples taken in the car: the body of the victim stayed in the trunk of the car. It remains to know where this body was kept between Sunday 29 and the following Thursday in the coming days“, wonders now Camille Miansoni.

What you need to know about the suspect in the Héléna Cluyou case

A few days after Helena’s disappearance, Sylvain L.36, confides in his brother “to have done something stupid“ directly related to “what everyone was talking about in Brest“.”It was an accident“, would have certified the one who would become the main suspect in the case, despite a clean criminal record. Very harsh words followed bya double suicide attempt at his home in Brest and his hospitalization. In a coma, Sylvain L. finally passed away this Thursday, February 9, even though the investigators had just found the body of Héléna Cluyou. Those around him today describe him as a man “borderline“, a heavy consumer of alcohol and narcotics, including cocaine. If the public action ends with the death of the main suspect, the public prosecutor could initiate a judicial investigation in order to “establish a certain number of incriminating elements which would make it possible to frame the responsibility of the suspected person, which also allows the family of the victim, if it is unfortunately indeed this young woman, to act on the civil plan and to try to establish a fault of the deceased author“, as explained by Vincent Omez, criminal lawyer at the Quimper bar, in an interview with our colleagues from France Bleu.
