MICKAËL PHILETAS : THE MAN WHO HATED WOMAN | M6 | 66 minutes

In a few days the trial before the Assize Court of Versailles of Mickaël Philetas opens. The man in his thirties is accused of the murder of Mélanie Ghione, his ex-girlfriend, and attempted murder of relatives of Melanie. He allegedly stabbed her nearly 150 times on the night of January 29, 2020. If femicides are infamous for their misogynistic character, Melanie’s is the epitome of masculinist radicalization exposed on social networks. Mickaël had been running a YouTube channel for several years in which he provided advice on seduction. Problem: behind videos of jovial appearance, Mickaël pours out his hatred against women. How to explain such a gesture? Why was no warning issued when warning signs existed? Two victims close to Mélanie will attend the trial and agree to return to this night of horror where their lives were turned upside down.
