Justine Vayrac died of strangulation according to the autopsy report, which confirms the statements of the suspect in police custody, AFP reports.
According to the report, the autopsy of the body of Justine Vayrac, the 20-year-old young woman found dead last Thursday in Corrèze, revealed that she had been beaten before being strangled, AFP learned on Monday from a source familiar with the matter. These conclusions of the forensic doctors confirm the statements of the suspect in police custody.
According to information gathered by RMC, the young man had confessed to investigators that he had strangled Justine Vayrac .
The results of the analyzes intended to determine whether the victim was drugged are not yet known. His body was found near the suspect’s farm after several days of searches, carried out by 80 police and gendarmes.
Justine Vayrac, from Tauriac, in the neighboring department of Lot, disappeared on the night of Sunday October 23, around 4 a.m., near a nightclub in Brive, “La Charrette”, where she spent the evening with friends.
According to several sources, Justine Vayrac would have felt bad in the disco after having drunk a few glasses of alcohol and would have decided to go to sleep in her car. She would then have crossed paths with the suspect, an “acquaintance” according to a friend of the young woman, who left her with him and then went back to the nightclub.
Aged 21, the suspect, a farmer residing in the town of Beynat, 15 km from Brive, was imprisoned. He is being prosecuted for rape, forcible confinement and murder. He confessed last Thursday at the end of his police custody “to have killed the victim when they were both at his home and they had just had consensual sex”, according to the prosecution.
He also told investigators that he “punched” the young woman, mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old child, and used an “agricultural machine” to “bury the body” in the forest.
