Courjault Vronique Biography

French infanticide perpetrator, she admitted killing three of her children. Their corpes were found in a freezer. Her trial began in June 2009 in Tours, France. The much-publicized tragedy caught the public attention in the summer of 2006. She, her husband Jean-Louis and their two young children were living in Seoul, Korea where his job had taken him. She and the children (10 and 11 years old) had returned to France for a vacation when his husband notified Korean authorities that he had found two tiny corpses in their freezer. The date was July 23, 2006. The husband was allowed to leave Korea and rejoin his family in France but the French authorities proved by DNA that the infants were theirs. She subsequently admitted killing a son in 2002 and another in 2003. She evidently was able to hide her pregnancies and no one was the wiser until the bodies were discovered. When she confessed to the two murders, she claimed that she had also killed a third infant in 1999 and had incinerated the body. Her husband was not found to be involved. She was convicted on June 18, 2009 and sentenced to eight years in prison. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
