The 53-year-old man, already sentenced for the rape of a student, was convicted on Friday 16 October by the Morbihan assize court. His sentence is accompanied by a 22-year security period.
The Morbihan assize court handed down its verdict in the case of Iris Coëtmen, raped and killed in 2023. Christophe Raule was sentenced on Friday to life imprisonment with a 22-year security period, according to Le Télégramme
The attorney general had requested Friday morning the maximum penalty provided for by the law. Abducted in the city centre, the young woman had been found naked on the banks of a river.
At the trial of Christophe Raule in Vannes, the defence's strategy is to pretend to demonstrate the impulse act, with the aim that the maximum penalty will not be imposed.
On the last day of Christophe Raule's trial before the Morbihan assize court in Vannes, the Advocate General has just requested, on Friday 16 October, life imprisonment for the accused who appeared for the abduction, rape and murder of Iris Coëtmen on 27 May 2023 in Lorient.
Life imprisonment was required on Friday, October 16, 2026 against Christophe Raulé, tried since Monday by the Morbihan assize court, for the abduction of the rape and murder of the young Iris Coëtmen, whose lifeless body had been found floating naked in the Blavet River, near Lorient, on May 27, 2023.
