The horror trial begins this Monday before the Aveyron Assize Court. Three people including a “druid” are tried for the sordid murder of a man in February 2023.
A trial like rarely French justice had the opportunity to deal with it is open this Monday before the Assize Court of Aveyron. Three people take place in the accused box and in particular a couple, Philippe Schneider and his partner Nathalie Caboubassy, accused of having killed, dismembered, burned and cooked the body of a man with Brasc (Aveyron), in 2023. N accomplice is also judged. The verdict is expected to be returned at the end of the week, Thursday or Friday. He incurs criminal life imprisonment. She has always denied her involvement.
Philippe Schneider is prosecuted for sequestration followed by death, concealment of corpse and damage to the integrity of it. For his part, his partner is heard for acts of complicity in sequestration followed by death, damage to the integrity of a corpse and concealment of a corpse. The victim? George Meichler says “Diego”, 60, lived reclusive in a small house without electricity 45km kilometers from Albi. In February 2023, the man disappeared, which strongly worries his friends and family. He would have sent a strange message to one of his friends indicating that he was going on a while on a trip to Brittany with a woman. Something he was not used to.
“The House of Horror”
The gendarmes start their investigation and learn that a couple has used the Citroën Jumpy of Diego for several days, which has been found at the foot of a HLM building in Camarès. On February 10, the two suspects were arrested and forced to open the rear doors of the vehicle in question. They say they are friends of Diego. The gendarmes then discovered pouble bags containing pieces of body of the disappeared.
In police custody, Philippe Schneider soon confess: “It’s the horror what I’m going to tell you, it will be difficult to hear,” he says. A burglary that would have gone wrong would be the source of Diego’s death. His body was then cut into pieces before spreading his remains in the canton of Causses and Rougier, to Camarès. Other parts have been burned, but the treatment reserved for certain pieces goes beyond understanding.
Indeed, the man cooked certain songs in a bowl in the victim’s house. This is a potential religious rite discovered at Nepal During one of his trips. Whoever is sometimes nicknamed “the druid” therefore boiled his victim in what now bears the name of “House of Horror”. Philippe Schneider recognized all the facts that he is accused of but has never explained his crazy gesture before.
