In rural France, a grisly death and a lingering question: Which of the dogs killed her?
Elisa Pilarski, 29 and six months pregnant, was found partially dismembered with dog bites in November 2019 in a northern French forest. She had been walking her partner's illegally imported pit bull. Christophe Ellul, the dog owner, is now standing trial and has been fighting against the idea that his dog was the sole killer.
On the second day of his trial, Christophe Ellul admitted this Wednesday that his dog Curtis could be responsible for the death of his pregnant companion, Elisa Pilarski, on 16 November 2019 in the forest of Retz. But his doubts come back soon.
Seven years after the death of Elisa Pilarski, on 16 November 2019 in a forest in the Aisne, her companion Christophe Ellul has been tried since Tuesday in Soissons (Aisne) for manslaughter. Her dog Curtis is suspected of being the perpetrator of the attack.
From the first day, at the court in Soissons, the owner of pitbull Curtis, accused of having devoured Elisa Pilarski in 2019, was confronted with the messages exchanged with his daughter and companion. " Marianne" reveals their content to you.
