The Gare de Perpignan murders is a French criminal case. Between 1995 and 2001, four girls disappeared and three were found dead, in similar conditions. Authorities initially thought it was the work of a serial killer. In June 2015, three of the four disappearances were cleared up and involved two murderers.
History
Four girls of similar appearance disappeared in the station area in Perpignan. The victims were:
- Tatiana Andújar (17) 24 September 1995[1]
- Mokhtaria Chaïb (19) 21 December 1997
- Marie-Hélène Gonzalez (22) 16 June 1998
- Fatima Idrahou (23) 19 February 2001
Tatiana Andújar's remains were never found. The others were found dead in a state of undress. Chaïb and Gonzalez 's genitals had been mutilated. González head and hands were found in a trash bag six months after the disappearance. The personal effects of every victim are still not found.
Fatima Idrahou
A witness saw the type, the color and a part of the number plate of the car in which Fatima was kidnapped. A bar manager, Marc Delpech, who was married and a father, was arrested fourteen days after the crime. He confessed while in custody. He explained his crime by saying that she had rejected his advances.[2] Her undressed body was found on the bank of the pool of Canet-en-Roussillon. On 18 June, Marc Delpech was sentenced to thirty years of imprisonment with a minimum of twenty years without the possibility of parole. The sentence was affirmed in the appeal court.
Mokhtaria Chaïb
In the middle of October 2014, the DNA of Chaïb's assailant was identified as that of a fifty-four-year-old father of four children. He had moved to Perpignan in 1997, the year he killed her. The alleged murderer Jacques Rançon, (who had repeatedly been convicted of sexual assault and violence, including a rape), confessed to the rape and the murder of Mokhtaria Chaïb while in custody. He was exonerated of the disappearance of Tatiana Andújar, because he was in prison at the time. He remains a suspect in the death of Gonzalez. The police discovered the DNA of two others where the body was found.
Marie-Hélène Gonzalez
On 18 June 2015, Rançon confessed to the murder of Marie-Hélène Gonzalez.[3]
