‘Beast of Avignon’ rapist denies murdering estate agent who was drugged & killed after being quizzed in unsolved case

Dominique Pelicot, also known as the “Beast of Avignon,” has refuted allegations of drugging and killing an estate agent whom he has been associated with.

Despite this denial, Dominique, who is considered France’s most infamous rapist, acknowledged being present at the location where a different woman has accused him of attempted rape.

During a lengthy interrogation lasting four hours conducted by magistrates last Thursday, the 72-year-old Dominique gave his statement regarding his involvement in two well-known unsolved cases.

One was the murderof Sophie Narme, a 23-year-old estate agent, who died in Paris in 1991.

The other was the attempted rape of another estate agent identified as Marion, 18, who was attacked in the same area in 1999.

The woman was showing him a flat when she claims he knocked her out with chemicals in the same way.

Beatrice Zavarro, Dominique’s lawyer, said: “He answered all the questions – cooperating like he always does.”

About the murder, the sick serial rapist declared: “I have nothing to do with this affair.”
