Jonathann Daval : ses derniers secrets #cdanslair 19.11.2020

Three years after Alexia's murder, the trial of her husband, Jonathann Daval, opened Monday in Vesoul. From the dock, visibly moved and nervous, the accused reiterated his confession. "Yes," he said, he killed his wife alone. But it was yesterday that the proceedings truly got underway during a very tense day that began with testimony and questions from Alexia's parents, followed by the accused's own account of his wife's murder. This testimony was eagerly awaited by the victim's family, who have been demanding the truth for years, and to whom Jonathann Daval offered a clumsy "apology." "I know the word isn't appropriate," he told Alexia's family, "for what I did and for lying. I destroyed your lives." Then the questioning began. Questions about his complicated relationship with his wife became more insistent, until Jonathann Daval, who had suddenly turned completely white, collapsed. Taken to the hospital in Vesoul where he spent the night, Jonathann Daval received medical clearance on Thursday, allowing the trial to resume before the Haute-Saône Assize Court. However, the trial is already a day behind schedule, and a verdict as early as Friday seems increasingly unlikely in this extraordinary case, which has already seen numerous twists and turns. The case began on October 30, 2017, with the discovery of the partially burned body of Alexia Daval, a 29-year-old bank employee, under branches in a wooded area a few kilometers from her home in Gray-la-Ville. Her husband, Jonathann Daval, an IT specialist, had reported her missing two days earlier, saying she had gone for a jog. In the days that followed, he organized a silent march and presented himself to the media as a grieving widower, still in tears. A few months later, he accused his brother-in-law of the murder, claiming it was part of a family conspiracy. Then, cornered by the inconsistencies between his statements and the evidence, he finally confessed to murdering his wife, which he said occurred during a violent argument. But for the victim's parents, his act was premeditated. So what happened? What are the unanswered questions that the justice system will have to clarify? Why is this case so captivating? Finally, given the significant increase in violence against women observed in 2019, what solutions can be implemented?
