On June 30, the wife of Christophe Doire, the hunter who was found beheaded in Allier in 1995, was indicted for murder. However, one element is not without questioning his guilt.
For nearly 27 years, investigators have done everything to solve this mystery. On Christmas Day 1995, Christophe Doire was found decapitated in a ditch, in the Allier. A news item for which no culprit had been designated, until this rebound, on June 30, when the public prosecutor Éric Neveu announced the indictment for murder of Maria, the wife of the hunter. Now 55, she spent 48 hours in police custody before being remanded in custody for “serious and concordant clues” and of “incoherent and fickle statements since 1995”. A surprise for those close to Christophe Doire, in particular his brother Olivier, who the day after this announcement was quick to share his “total surprise” at BFMTV, facing a “unreal situation”.
While for several years the investigators favored the trail of a dispute with another hunter, the latest elements seem to point the finger at Maria, always presumed innocent. In particular of DNA, found on clothing of the victim during the exhumation of his body on April 15, as well as of the “differences” in his statements, which appeared to the investigators after an analysis of several thousand minutes. However, if certain elements overwhelm the wife of Christophe Doire, the director of the initial investigation confided two years ago that his sole responsibility could to be questionedAnd this, “seen the nature of the crime and physical frailty of the wife”. “It would have required the complicity of a third party“he said, as reported Paris Match.
“Too frail” according to the hunter’s brother
According to investigators, Maria could not have attacked her husband alone. An opinion shared by Olivier Doire, the brother of the victim who claims not to have “never suspected” her ex-sister-in-law. “For me, it’s impossible. For me, she was too frailshe didn’t have the physique to do that at all”he said, before concluding: “I don’t think she was able to do that and hide it for so long.” But the investigators believed they saw in the relationship that the two spouses really had a motive for Maria to attack her husband. If the brother of Christophe Doire affirms that this one “loved his wife madly, with an obsessive love”, Paris Match reports that he would have beaten him on several occasions, notably in December 1995, shortly before his death.
