Who is the author of the fatal stab wounds that cost Daniel Busson his life? Why was this 67-year-old man murdered at his home, on the 9th floor of a building on rue du Tire-Pesseau in la Fontaine-d’Ouche in Dijon in August 2018? This Wednesday, December 8, 2021, four people are on trial for murder or complicity in murder. On the dock in particular: the victim’s widow and her son.
Four people tried for murder or complicity in murder
It is a sordid family affair that is preparing to judge the Assize Court of Côte-d’Or. A little over 3 years ago, Daniel Busson was found bathed in his blood, stabbed 14 times in the back. Very quickly the police officers of the PJ hear those who were in the apartment that evening and who gave the alert. Namely the son of the victim, Anthony 24 years old, Amandine his companion, Jordan a friend of the couple as well as Jocelyne, the wife of Daniel Busson.
The deceased described as “violent” and “alcoholic”
A complicated family since the deceased had his son with the daughter born from a first union of his wife. Jocelyne is therefore both Daniel Busson’s companion and Anthony’s grandmother. She describes her companion as “violent” and “alcoholic” and explains to the police that she instructed Anthony to find someone to get rid of him. Anthony and Jordan, who are being prosecuted for murder, blame themselves for the fatal stab wounds. The other two accused are being prosecuted for complicity. If the jurors have until Friday, December 17, 2021 to disentangle the truth from the false, in this case in any case the premeditation does not seem to be in any doubt.
Only Anthony, Daniel Busson’s son and Jordan, Anthony’s friend appear in detention. Amandine’s lawyer, master Samuel Estève of the Dijon bar, already announces that in front of the role “very peripheral” of his client he will plead the acquittal of the young woman. “His role in this affair does not consist – according to him – an accomplice in murder. “incurs life imprisonment”.
