Standing in the box, the young man who did not Cill, Tuesday, April 12th. Twenty-eight years of criminal imprisonment have been pronounced against him by the Assize Court of Doubs. Nicolas Zepeda is convicted of assassinating his ex-girlfriend, Narumi Kurosaki, in Room 106 of the Colleette University Residence in Besançon, the night from 4th to 5th of December 2016. A few meters from him, on the public benches , his father has the same face frozen, absent. Their looks do not cross.
How not to rethink the words launched the day before in his lawyer by his lawyer, M e Jacqueline Laffont: “If he is guilty, his loneliness is terrifying. He did not say it to Nobody. “This man who is the age of his sentence – he will have 28 years on 11 December – is alone, desperately alone in front of all the irconcilable Zepeda Nicolas who compose it. The son adulated, heir designated from his father’s professional success, the elder brother admired by his sisters, the polished boy, sure of him, well high and believer, the best friend, the class leader, the elected president of his promotion , nomadic and multilingual student, the amazing lover. But also the crushed son, the wounded man, the archaic, obsessive and jealous male, and the determined assassin of the young woman who had had the audacity to escape him.
Exceptional trial
He is alone, facing a session of twenty-nine o’clock in nine square meters with the one he has just killed. Alone with a corpse, when the rival worried knock on the door, and that the slightest noise pierces the paper partitions of a university residence. Only to clean the scene of his crime and remove this body. Only the owner of the last moments of life and the mystery of the death of Narumi Kurosaki. A chemically pure female, even if the word, usually so Galvéaé, was pronounced only twice during the hearing. Since then, Nicolas Zepeda survives in denial.
In this other stifling closed session of the Assize Court, for nine days he held. He will not will not. He will not tell. To no one. By removing the perpetuity sentence required by the Advocate General and condemning him to twenty-eight years of criminal imprisonment, the Court and the jurors have dismissed anger, incomprehension, the exasperated fractionation that each of his answers to questions obvious that they were asked.
And at the end of an exceptional trial, they condemned the author of an assassination, “the dominant male who considers that the loved one is an element of his heritage”, as described by the Advocate General Etienne Coats, but they also heard the voice of his defense, M e Jacqueline Laffont, opening a door on the darkness: Nicolas Zepeda is not only the unbearable accused who does not want To confess, he is also a survival man who can not.
