Following your tip-off...
The gendarmes reviewed CCTV footage and spotted Raphael talking to Marc outside Marc’s salon two weeks before the murder.
Another camera caught Raphael driving out of town on the night of the murder… with Marc in the passenger seat.
Later, Marc’s body was discovered buried in the forest.
The Medical Examiner isolated foreign DNA on the victim, and it matched Raphael’s.
Traces of soil and local plant matter from the burial site were also found on the soles of Raphael’s shoes.
Raphael was arrested. He confessed.
He had discovered Yvonne was cheating on him. And because Yvonne had been very vocal about hating Marc, Raphael became convinced Marc was her lover.
Over the past month, jealousy and rage clouded his judgment. He lured Marc into his car under false pretenses… then sedated and killed him.
