Two more suspects are reported to have been taken into custody, for their alleged involvement in the disappearance and eventual murder of Kevin Trompat and Leslie Hoorelbeke.
Three people are already indicted for the kidnapping and murder of Kevin Trompat and Leslie Hoorelbeke, a young couple who have been missing since the end of November of 2022, AFP reports.
Two new people have been taken into police custody as part of the investigation into the death of Leslie Hoorelbeke and Kevin Trompat last November, indicates the Poitiers prosecutor’s office confirming information from the Parisian.
Three men aged 22 and 23, including a close friend of the couple, have already been indicted in this investigation. Two for “assassinations, modification of the inventory of a crime to obstruct the manifestation of the truth and kidnapping and sequestration without voluntary release before the 7th day”. The third for “kidnapping and forcible confinement”. They were all remanded in custody.
Justice is now trying to find out if other people were present or could have played a role in the ambush for the young couple on the evening of November 25, 2022. The motive for this double assassination remains uncertain. Is it a sentimental motive? Villainous? We also know that on the evening of his disappearance, Kevin was given 10,000 euros in cash by his mother-in-law to, she says, buy a used car. Money that has not been found.
One of the three suspects, a matchmaker for Leslie and Kevin, seemed to have feelings for the young woman. Missing since the end of November, the bodies of Leslie Hoorelbeke, 22, and Kevin Trompat, 21, were discovered last March near the home of one of the defendants, the report by AFP added.
