The husband of Karine Esquivillon, a 54-year-old Vendean who has not given any news since the end of March, was placed in police custody on Wednesday June 14, learned franceinfo and France Télévisions from a source familiar with the matter, confirming information from the Parisian. Michel Pialle was arrested by the gendarmes of the Nantes research section, with the support of the Vendée gendarmerie group.
The latter, who had reported the absence of his wife on April 3, a week after her disappearance, said he was convinced that she was “left voluntarily”. This disappearance is considered worrying by the public prosecutor of La Roche-sur-Yon, who first opened, on April 17, a judicial investigation against X for “kidnapping and forcible confinement”.
But this judicial investigation was finally extended to the fact of murder against X, the magistrate announced on Wednesday to franceinfo and France Télévisions. “VS’is a procedural question (…) so that he can be heard on broader facts by the investigating judge”, says the prosecutor. A call for witnesses was issued by the gendarmes of the Nantes research section, who are responsible for carrying out the investigation.
