13 years of investigation

For 13 years now, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès has been the main suspect in the murder investigation opened in the context of the quintuple murder of his family found on April 21, 2011 under the terrace of their home in Nantes.

He was never able to be heard by investigators since he had disappeared since April 15 of the same year, the date on which a surveillance camera last captured the video of his father. family in a hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens in the Var.

She defends her brother

From the start, his sister defends him at all costs: "For me, her family was murdered by third parties who wanted to place the responsibility for this murder on Xavier", she said in an interview with Paris Match, as part of the release of a book, Xavier, my presumed innocent brother, co-written with her husband Bertram de Verdun.

Des "allegations" refuted by members of Agnès’s family: < em>"Due to the current media coverage, (the family of Agnès) simply intends to formulate the most express reservations on the declarations of Christine de Ligonnès and her husband, particularly in the as the judicial investigation is still in progress", specifies Anne de Coirmont, the victim's cousin, on BFMTV.

For several years, Agnès de Ligonnès kept a blog in which she defended the innocence of her brother based on testimonies from those close to her as well as the letter received in 2011 where he talks about a sudden departure to the United States.

However, several elements contradict this version such as the acquisition of a silencer and ammunition for a recently recovered rifle, the purchase of lime under which the family was buried or also the fact that he was seen several times alone after the murders.
