The Murder of Grégory Villemin

I'm watching the five-part documentary about this tragic murder of a toddler on Netflix. It's very disturbing but it's also a terrible indictment of the way women are judged for their appearance and behaviour following the death of their child - as happened with Lindy Chamberlain.

In this case, the mother of four-year-old Grégory was suspected in being involved in the murder after other suspects had been released, partly because the commissaire (I think, I've not been able to confirm exactly what his position was at the time) Jacques Corrazzi felt that she was wearing too tight a sweater when he met her four months after the murder.

The murder was preceded by years of threatening anonymous phone calls and letters to the murdered child's family.

Bernard Laroche, who was suspected of the murder and who was later murdered by Grégory's father was initially accused by a family member who was a minor at the time; she later recanted her accusation.

Later some other family members were arrested but it does not seem as though the police have any real idea who was behind the letters and phone calls or indeed the murder.
