THE DROMARD CASE : WHO KILLED THE HAIRDRESSER ? | Enquêtes criminelles | W9

Thursday July 15 2010. Saint-Martin d’Ablois in the Marne. When Sylvain Dromard, a carpenter and plasterer, returns home he discovers the body of his wife, Laurence, lying unconscious in the kitchen. She has several blows to her skull. When the emergency services arrive they try to reanimate the victim, but to no avail. The 43-year-old mother dies in hospital. Who beat the attractive village hairdresser to death? According to the stricken husband, an envelope containing money for the family vacation has disappeared. Was Laurence the victim of a robbery that went wrong? Nothing can be less certain… because not one of the entrances to the house shows any signs of a break-in. And the neighbors noticed nothing unusual. Could the widower be trying to skew the investigation to put himself in the clear? Maybe, because Sylvain Dromard has a mistress, Murielle Bonin, a 46-year-old secretary. And it’s far from being a fleeting affair. This romance has been going on for several years. Murielle even got a divorce for Sylvain. And that’s not all: Laurence, the cheated wife, had discovered the secret. War had been declared between the two rivals. When questioned, Sylvain Dromard, the unfaithful spouse, denies any involvement in the crime, but his mistress accuses him. Only, he possesses a professional alibi for the time of the crime. The plot thickens… So who did kill Laurence Dromard? Sylvain, the unfaithful husband; Murielle, his mistress? Or did the two lovers hatch a joint and evil plan to dispose of the inconvenient wife? Exceptionally, Enquêtes Criminelles” was able to meet them both.”
