At the seventh day of hearing, Tuesday, December 7, Daniel Malgouyres got up. It’s his turn. He who, since the first day of his trial, on November 29, a lot alone in his accused box, was four years at the bottom of his prison to prepare for that moment. In front of the Assize Court of Herault, in Montpellier, he incurs thirty years of criminal imprisonment for the murder of David Viers, attempted murder on Richard Bruno and the attempted extortion with weapon against his wife, Françoise.
She is there, less than ten meters, sitting on the banks of the civil parties. His son Olivier, who testified the day before his father, joined him. On this day dedicated to it, the owner of the Garden of Saint-Adrien in Servian (Hérault) has put on a white shirt. “I have an emotional thought for the family of the children, is he launching. And for my family, today torn. I realized in recent days that I am not perfect. I have faults. “
On October 5, 2017, he remembers, he was nearly 7:30 pm when he and his wife settled in the dining room for dinner. When the dog began to bark, he first believed that a marcassin crossed the garden. Then wearing the barking “more and more badly”, he decides to go see. “I take the lamp and all of a sudden two huge types, armed, hungry, dressed in black fall on me.” A few moments later, the dog no longer falls. He’s not here anymore. One of the two aggressors attacks his wife and puts a revolver on the temple. “We are here for your chest. We are here to kill you,” they threaten from the outset. And, according to Daniel, if the dog no longer falls is that a third man remained away – Jean-Pierre Bruno, Richard’s father – keeps him away.
Then Daniel Malgouyres runs out his version of the facts: the two malfrats who ask where are the phones, Françoise who refuses to deliver the secrets of the safe and, spent the affolition of the aggression, he who finds a little His spirits. “I tell them I have 1,000 euros upstairs. I knew I could save my life and that of my wife.” On the floor, in his room, on the top of a wardrobe, Daniel Cache a pump rifle, loaded. David Viers follows him. Françoise, who collapses on the stairs, stay down with Richard Bruno. It is dark. Feigning to look for the switch, it goes on tiptoe, catches the weapon. “He was in the coaching of the door. I pulled. It was done in two seconds,” he says. Self-defense, he pleads, even if, at this precise moment, Viers was not armed.
