the murder of a woman and her daughter in Sassenage elucidated 28 years later

The double murder of Michèle Marinescu, 43, and her daughter Christine, 13, on January 7, 1993 in their house in Sassenage, has just been clarified, said Grenoble prosecutor Eric Vaillant. Twenty-eight years after the events, the gendarmerie arrested Marian Marinescu, Michèle’s husband and father of little Christine.

According to information from Dauphiné Liberated, it is the exploitation of DNA traces and recent advances in science that have led to suspect Marian Marinescu. This genetic material was allegedly taken from the links that were used to immobilize Michèle Marinescu on the day of the murder. According to the prosecutor, little Christine was raped before being killed.

On January 7, 1993, the gendarmes, warned by the 40-year-old’s employer, discovered the lifeless bodies of Michèle Marinescu, an executive in a company in the Grenoble area, and her daughter, both of whom were stabbed. The father said at the time that he was spending holidays in Romania with the couple’s second child.

Since that date, the investigators had multiplied the hearings and carried out for hundreds of hours to samples in the villa of the crime. For years, multiple calls for witnesses have been launched by the investigating magistrates in charge of the case, but without success.
