MATHIEU BUELENS: THE GENDARME WITH TWO FACES | M6 | 66 minutes

It’s Tuesday 26 June 2012, in Barbezieux Saint-Hilaire, a quiet little commune in Charente. It’s just after 10pm when firefighters and gendarmes attend an emergency in a fine property. A fire has been reported in the house, occupied by Claude Tavernier, a very active, well-known and respected retired lady. Unfortunately, the old lady is discovered to be dead. But this is no accident: valuable objects were stolen and the old lady was savagely stabbed to death!

It looks like a burglary that went wrong… except for one thing: there are no clues! So the killer seems to have committed the perfect crime. The murder of Claude Tavernier leaves the residents of Barbezieux stunned as the gendarmes carry out their investigation. They have no idea of what they are about to discover… Thanks to an incredible witness statement, they succeed in identifying a most unusual suspect: a young gendarme by the name of Mathieu Buelens! And yet he has a good service record; he’s discrete and was never violent. So who is hiding behind the uniform? A young man quite correct on the surface or a killer with two faces?
