the main suspect placed in custody

Victorine Dartois, a young woman of 18, was found dead in Isère. Ludovic B., main suspect, is implicated in another case: a rape going back to 3 years ago.

Ludovic B., is the main suspect in the death of Victorine Dartois, who was found drowned following the intervention of a third party. He had recognized his involvement. He was indicted for "kidnapping, forcible confinement and murder preceded by a felony", an attempted rape. While the investigation has yet to determine whether the young woman was sexually abused prior to her death, which the main suspect categorically denies, is another case that has been traced back.

Indeed, the same man was accused of rape by a 20-year-old girl in 2018. The alleged victim had filed a complaint two years later. According to the Grenoble prosecutor's office: "The complaint is subsequent to the Victorine case and the acts were allegedly committed in the Rhône department". The suspect was therefore indicted: "As part of their investigations in preliminary investigation, the investigators extracted from the remand center and placed in custody, Tuesday February 2 at 8:30 am, Ludovic B., person indicted in the murder case preceded by an attempted rape of Victorine Dartois " said Bruno Duffau, deputy prosecutor of the Republic of Grenoble. Ludovic B. faces life imprisonment.

The Victorine affair had aroused great emotion in the country at the time of her disappearance. There were many testimonies to talk about the fear of women to go out in public space.
