a century later, the mystery remains around the Seznec affair

It is one of the greatest legal enigmas of the 20th century. Guillaume Seznec is accused of having killed his friend, Pierre Quemeneur, general councilor of Finistère. On May 25, 1923, they set off for Paris for a business trip. After a series of technical problems, Pierre would have decided to finish the journey by train, but no one will see him again. No corpse has been found, there is no confession, no witnesses.

The Seznec family has called for a review of the trial 14 times

The Assize Court of Quimper found Guillaume Seznec guilty of murder and sentenced him to forced labor for life. He spent 20 years in Cayenne before being pardoned by General de Gaulle. After his death, the Seznec family demanded a review of the trial 14 times, in vain. In 2018, individuals relaunched excavations in Morlaix (Finistère), convinced that it could have been an accident in the Seznec house. A bone is discovered but it is ultimately that of a bovine.
