Dominique Pelicot questioned over murder and attempted rape during 1990s

Dominique Pelicot, who drugged and raped his then wife Gisèle and recruited dozens of men to abuse her over almost a decade, has been questioned over two other attacks dating back to the 1990s.

The 72-year-old Frenchman, who was jailed for 20 years in December, is being investigated over the alleged rape and murder of property agent Sophie Narme in Paris on 4 December 1991. He denies the offence.

Investigators also quizzed him about the attempted rape of another young property agent, known by the pseudonym Marion, in a suburb of the capital on 11 May 1999.

During his trial, Pelicot admitted to that offence after DNA evidence taken from blood found on Marion’s shoe was linked to him.
