The known perpetrator of the crime has been charged with “illegal detention, kidnapping, rape and voluntary manslaughter of a minor”.
Frenchman Romain Chevrel was charged on Sunday with the crimes of “illegal detention, kidnapping, rape and voluntary manslaughter of a minor under the age of 15” for the murder of Vanesa, the 14-year-old Spanish teenager he killed last night. Friday in a small town in Aquitaine, in the south of France.
The prosecutor’s office of the Agen department reported on Sunday that Chevrel, aged 31 and with a history of sexual assault when he was a minor, confessed to smoking cannabis Friday morning near the high school where Vanesa, a young Spanish woman, studied that he had only lived with his parents and a brother in the town of Tonneins for a year.
As Chevrel explained to the gendarmes, he saw his victim, whom he did not know at all, walking on the sidewalk and decided to kidnap her. He then raped her in his car and strangled her to death. The body was then transferred to an abandoned house in Briac-sur-Trec, a few kilometers from Tonneins, where the defendant himself directed the officers who found Vanessa’s lifeless, clothed body there.
The gendarmes were able to locate Chevrel thanks to the surveillance cameras in the vicinity where the young woman studied and after identifying a suspicious vehicle that turned out to be that of the killer, who immediately confessed to the facts.
