Dominique Pelicot faces further investigation for rape and murder

Husband of Gisèle Pelicot suspected of raping and murdering a Paris estate agent and attempting to rape another

Dominique Pelicot, who has been jailed for 20 years for drugging his then wife, Gisèle Pelicot, and inviting men to rape her, faces a further investigation for the rape and murder of an estate agent in Paris in 1991, and an attempted rape in 1999, amid questions over whether he could have been a serial offender for decades.

Investigators in Nanterre outside Paris have reopened two cold cases and placed Pelicot under formal investigation, as police consider potential links to other cases involving young estate agents. Pelicot could face another trial at a later date.
