The serial killer Francis Heaulme is sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of Cyril Beining and Alexandre Beckrich at Montigny-lès-Metz in 1986, after the release Wednesday of its appeal by the Court of cassation.

The highest judicial jurisdiction, the French made a final point in a marathon legal succession of six trials, thus validating the verdict of the court of appeal of Versailles, to be delivered in December 2018, against M. Heaulme, today aged 61 years.
