Philippe G., a 39-year-old man, has just been sentenced to 18 years in prison after having reserved the worst surprises for his wife.
The drama happened in 2017 and it could have ended absolutely tragically, but the victim was fortunately lucky in his misfortune. As reported by Parisian, it all started with the organization of a picnic at the Château de Champs-sur-Marne by Philippe G., a 39-year-old construction company manager. Following an adventure with his secretary, this man married for 13 years to Isabelle wanted to be forgiven and rekindle the flame. It is therefore in an idyllic setting that the couple, both Jehovah’s Witnesses, found themselves on June 4, 2017. Only when it was time to give him a gift and rather than, as he claims, to pass him a necklace. around the neck, Philippe takes advantage of his wife’s turned back to shoot her right in the head.
against all odds, Isabelle survives this injury which was intended to be fatal and is avenged on March 20, 2023, when her husband is sentenced to 18 years in prison. Still according to our colleagues from Parisian, the defendant’s lawyers have already planned to appeal. “We take note of the decision and we reflect, with our customers, on the advisability of appealing”. On the prosecution side, it is clear that Philippe G. wanted to get rid of his wife because of their membership in the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the rules that govern their lives. In effect a Jehovah’s Witness risks being excommunicated in the event of a divorce. From then on, feminicide seemed to be a ready-made solution for Philippe, who disputes the facts and claims to have fallen into a trap because of a settling of accounts. It must be said that Philippe was also injured during the terrible picnic.
He wanted to commit the perfect crime
Sami M., co-accused, had, according to his words, been asked by Philippe for a small sum of money to come and collect a bag from the scene of the crime. Only it was an assassination attempt that he surprised and assisted in shooting Philippe at his request to legitimize the ambush thesis. What push the Advocate General to declare that everything had been prepared with a “great meticulousness”. Sami M., for his part, was sentenced to 4 years in prison, including two and a half years suspended. Finally always according to the Parisian, the victim who survived a shot in the head finds it hard to believe in the guilt of her husband. She said during the hearing: “Today, I have no certainty. Neither one way nor the other.”
