Cindy Paris, 32, was found dead at the Plateau des Poètes, in Béziers, on the night of May 14 to 15, 2022. This Monday, June 24, a reconstruction of the night of the tragedy was carried out at the request of the investigating judge before a defendant and the lawyers of all parties.

This Monday, June 24, the Poètes de Béziers stage was closed to the public at an abnormal time. So, many people were surprised and followed. Later in the evening, police forces, magistrates, but also lawyers arrived on site. It was a question, at the request of the investigating judge in charge of the case of the death of Cindy Paris, of reconstructing the facts. On this occasion, we learned that a suspect had been arrested a few days after the events.

"A file to be discussed"

"It’is a matter that is being discussed, assured Me Sylvie Bar, who defends the interests of the suspect with Mr. Fontbonne. Our client does not recognize the facts and he wants to prove his innocence. It has no other objectives." We will not know more about a case whose investigation is still in progress.

Images and listening

From sources close to the investigation:"The video surveillance images of the Plateau were particularly observed. Known people were spotted and then listened to." And these wiretappings would have made it possible to implicate a 45-year-old man at the time of the events. "He gave a speech which particularly interested the investigation services." June 2, 2022 , he was placed under arrest warrant. Still according to our information, DNA traces of the suspect were found on objects near the victim. "Nothing more."

The atmosphere on the Plateau at night

"This reconstruction ultimately did not provide much more than what is in the file, assured participants. He denies everything. Assures that he is in no way involved in this drama. The only point on which we were enlightened was the atmosphere on the Plateau in a nocturnal context. This makes it possible to materialize the location of the crime scene."

What was she doing on the Plateau?

On May 15, 2022, Cindy Paris was found dead next to a bench, under the Titan, on the Plateau des Poètes. Three men, including his companion, were taken into custody and released. The companion was exonerated. They had been together for 9 months at the time of the tragedy. He had explained to Midi Libre : "I don’she was doing there in the middle of night. She only frequented this place during the day and with her son." Jean-Yves, the father of the deceased, expressed the same astonishment. "She called me on Saturday to tell me she was going to someone’s house. Then nothing. It was the police, on Sunday, who came to search the apartment and who told me that she had been found strangled and beaten to death."

Two days before this tragedy, another woman, Claire, was stabbed to death by her companion. These two deaths had thrown fear into Béziers.
