Dany Leprince recounts his police custody and detention conditions following acquittal in the quadruple murder of Thorigné-sur-Dué
Dany Leprince, acquitted in November 2024 by the criminal court of Sarthe of the quadruple murder of Thorigné-sur-Dué committed in 1994, agreed to recount the conditions of his police custody and his lengthy provisional detention. He was interviewed on the programme "Ligne rouge" on RMC.
The 54-year-old man spent nearly three decades behind bars before being found not guilty. He describes his arrest as a traumatic experience: "They tear you away from your life, from your family, from your loved ones." He recalls in particular the conditions of his police custody, where he was subjected to significant psychological pressure.
During his years in prison, he had to face a prison regime which he considers particularly difficult. "Provisional detention is worse than fixed-term imprisonment," he stated, referring to the absence of perspective and the permanent uncertainty that weighs on detainees awaiting trial.
His acquittal, which came after a third trial, ended a judicial case that marked all of France. Nevertheless, he continues to demand justice for the four victims, believing that the true culprit has never been identified.
