Dominique Pelicot, who has been jailed for 20 years for drugging his then wife, Gisèle Pelicot, and inviting men to rape her, faces a further investigation for the rape and murder of an estate agent in Paris in 1991, and an attempted rape in 1999, amid questions over whether he could have been a serial offender for decades.

Investigators in Nanterre outside Paris have reopened two cold cases and placed Pelicot under formal investigation, as police consider potential links to other cases involving young estate agents. Pelicot could face another trial at a later date.

The 2010 DNA evidence that showed a match with Pelicot did not make it into the case file at the time. It is unclear why. But the cold case was reopened by an investigating magistrate in Nanterre after Pelicot’s 2020 arrest for raping his wife. Questioned by police in 2022, Pelicot first denied any involvement, until he was presented with the DNA evidence of his blood on the shoe.

Ffs, this guy appears to be even more evil than we’d thought. Sounds like he’s very likely tied to a murder.
