The cold cases Dominique Pelicot is being questioned over after raping his wife
The 23-year-old estate agent had been drugged, raped, strangled and stabbed with a knife on Rue Marin, on December 4, 1991. Her supposed client’s identity – ‘Duboste’, who had demanded an urgent viewing the day before – turned out to be fake, as did his address. With no witnesses, the case went cold for decades.
