This is the first step towards a possible revision of the trial. Twenty-seven years after the condemnation of Omar Raddad for the murder of a rich widow, Ghislaine Marchal, Justice decided on Thursday, December 16 to reopen the file, said a judicial source.

“The battle is not over”, welcomed the press the Omar Raddad lawyer, Sylvie Noahovich. Incriminated by the famous registration “Omar kill me”, the former gardener – who had benefited from a partial grace in 1996 – has always claimed his innocence and wishes to cancel his 1994 sentence.
