Paul Chauvineau, son of the victim: “We don’t even know the motive”
In 2010, the Chauvineau family launched an appeal for witnesses and even went so far as to promise a large reward to anyone who could provide information to solve the case. But, again, it is a failure. “All our life we will hope. But we don’t even know the motive”, told Paul Chauvineau, the son of the victim to a local newspaper. The judicial investigation even ended with a dismissal, after six years of instruction. He was confirmed on appeal in March 2015, despite the family’s desire to continue the investigation. The murder of Thierry Chauvineau therefore remains today a mystery.
