A 41-year-old former cabaret singer, tried in Lyon for the assassination of his companion, discovered in his burnt car in June 2018 on a country road near their home, was sentenced Friday May 27, 2022 evening to twenty – five years of criminal imprisonment. The sentence was accompanied by a socio-judicial follow-up of five years as well as a prohibition in particular of civil rights of ten years by the Court of Assizes of the Rhône. The latter did not follow the requisitions of the public prosecutor who had earlier requested life imprisonment. “You have to judge a man who has chosen to commit a cold-blooded crime“had declared in his indictment the general counsel, Marie-Charlotte Fiorio, who had also requested a security sentence of twenty-two years.
Mikael Corcessin-Dervin was convicted of killing Aline Sepret, a 35-year-old dancer, and burning her body, on June 16, 2018 in Taluyers in the Rhône, south of Lyon. This professional baker converted to a DJ in Picardy before performing as a singer, who during the investigation admitted having voluntarily pushed his companion down a staircase, denied the intention of killing him.
“It’s not a monster, it would be so much easier“, underlined at the hearing the lawyer of the accused Me Damien Legrand in his argument. “His biggest flaw is affect, it’s loveis its Achilles heel. He is unable to take responsibilityto verbalize it“, declared for his part the other council of the forties, Me Loïc Bussy, evoking “a type that was built on the nil“, who “lives in the gaze of the other” and suffers from “narcissism” Consequently. “Don’t be like his father, don’t give ups“, again pleaded Me Bussy for Mikael Corcessin-Dervin, without a visit to prison, with a fleeing mother and an absent father.
A portrait that contrasts with the face presented by the Advocate General who has endeavored to detail the multiple maneuvers of the accused on the evening of the facts, underlining in the latter a “worrying determination“in the commission of a premeditated act, according to the prosecution.
