Convicted Rapist Dominique Pelicot Investigated for 1991 Murder

French authorities are probing Pelicot's possible link to the murder of Sophie Narme, citing similarities to other crimes he has admitted to.

  • Dominique Pelicot, already serving a 20-year sentence for drugging and facilitating the rape of his ex-wife, is under investigation for additional crimes, including a 1991 murder.
  • The 1991 case involves Sophie Narme, a 23-year-old real estate agent who was found strangled after being drugged and assaulted during a property showing in Paris.
  • Investigators linked Pelicot to a 1999 attempted assault on another real estate agent through DNA evidence, with similar methods used in both cases.
  • Pelicot has confessed to the 1999 attack but denies involvement in Narme's murder, despite parallels in the crimes' execution.
  • Authorities are also examining Pelicot's potential connection to other unsolved cases, including a 2004 attack and allegations from a woman claiming he assaulted her as a child.
