Cecile Brossard, the person who confessed to killing her rich lover Edouard Stern, was released from prison in November 2010 after serving just 18 months, according to Agence France Presse (AFP). Where is she now, though?
Following her admission of the savage murder of French banker Edouard Stern, who was shot four times in his Geneva penthouse property on February 28, 2005, Cecile Brossard was sentenced to eight and a half years in jail for manslaughter.
She did, however, profess profound guilt for killing his girlfriend in 2005 while engaging in a sadomasochistic sex session on a Swiss investigative news program. The 43-year-old Cecile Brossard wrote in a letter that was read aloud during the performance about the murder that she “regrets, and will eternally regret, my deed,” and that it was “clear that every second of my life that passes by.”
In 2022 where is Cecile Brossard now?
There is currently no information available on Cecile Brossard’s residency.
Cecile Brossard, a former shop assistant who is now an artist, admitted to killing Edouard Stern and claimed she did it in a fit of rage after he claimed she was a $1 million prostitute.
When Stern demanded the return of a $1 million gift he had given her, the two had previously fought. Moments before he passed away, the 50-year-old banker made fun of Cecile by saying, “A million dollars is a lot to spend for a whore.”
Banker Edouard Stern was wearing a latex bodysuit and was bound to a chair when Cecile opened fire four times. According to the Geneva High Court, the 40-year-old cleaned up the crime scene and threw the weapon into a lake before fleeing to Italy and then Sydney.
What Accusations Were Made Against Cecile Brossard?
After the event, Cecile Brossard was detained for two weeks.
She was given a fair trial at the Geneva High Court during which she admitted to killing the French millionaire. “I fired the opening shot while aiming the gun at his face. He had to have had the rifle six inches away from his face. I believe I struck him in the eyes. He stood up, took a half-turn, and then fell. Another round was fired at his skull.
The crime was deemed to be “very serious” by the jurors, who rejected her plea. Rather of being found guilty of the less serious “crime of passion,” the judge found that she committed murder because she was motivated by rage and avarice.
Before entering a guilty plea, Brossard spent four years in pretrial detention. On June 18, 2009, she was given an eight-year and six-month prison term. The parole was granted to Cecile in November 2010.
She was fortunately spared the maximum 20-year prison term due to her lessened guilt and was set free in November 2010 after serving just 18 months in jail. She was reportedly released early since she had already completed eight and a half years of the sentence she was given in jail prior to the trial.
