French Man Faces Trial for Brutal Killing of Wife's Lover in 2020

Yanick Morandeau is accused of premeditated murder and aggravated assault after discovering his wife in an affair.

Yanick Morandeau, 60, is on trial in Meurthe-et-Moselle for the 2020 killing of Éric Diard, his wife's lover, in a fit of jealousy.
The incident occurred after Morandeau tracked his wife using a GPS device and found her with Diard in a van at a parking lot in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy.
Diard, a professional musician, suffered 56 stab wounds and was found eviscerated; Morandeau also injured his wife as she tried to intervene.
Prosecutors argue the killing was premeditated, citing Morandeau's possession of a knife and his actions leading up to the crime, including sending photos of the affair to his son.
After the attack, Morandeau attempted suicide but survived and now faces charges of murder and aggravated assault.
