Support Blast, a new independent media: https://www.blast-info.fr/soutenir Despite an unworthy and incriminating investigation and legal case, Dany Leprince was sentenced to life imprisonment for the quadruple murder of his brother, his sister-in-law and their two children. Everything happened in a butcher's knife, in a few hours, on September 5, 1994 in Thorigné, a Sarthe and agricultural village where the two brothers' houses were neighbors. The massacre, the botched investigation, the political and judicial pressure and then the indictment. After confessions obtained after sleepless nights and 46 hours in police custody, Dany Leprince, his lawyers, a few friends and journalists fought so that the weaknesses of the case and the ambiguous role of his wife and one of his daughters finally came to light. The investigating commission, tasked with reviewing his trial, released him in July 2010. Since then, he has been fighting to obtain his acquittal and find the murderer(s) who are still at large. No DNA traces, flagrant inconsistencies in the timetable, the presence of shoe marks at the crime scene that were never investigated, confessions obtained through a stratagem, bias on the part of the prosecution and the investigating judge, false testimony, murder weapons probably lost by the investigators: rarely has a judicial investigation seen such a list of errors and bad faith. Dany Leprince has just published a book that ends like this: "I do not know if, through these written pages, I have managed to convince you of my innocence. In reality, that was not my goal. I know full well that only justice will one day be able to say: the new evidence gathered by the review commission opens the way to a new trial for Dany Leprince. In this book, I have simply recounted with sincerity what I have experienced since those fateful days of September 1994. By confessing to a crime that I had not committed, I was unaware that, slowly, my life was going to be drained away. You have to have known prison to understand this infinite solitude and these long periods of distress that are imposed on you. This suffering was added to a feeling of injustice that has never left me in eighteen years of incarceration" writes Dany Leprince in the epilogue of his book published (by Flammarion) last month in collaboration with the journalist Bernard Nicolas. We welcome them both on the Blast set for a Zoom arrière full of emotion, sweat, blood and tears. Hope too. The one that wants us to understand thirty years later how the silent massacre of a family could have taken place on a Sunday evening in a lost village in Sarthe.
