Murder in Plancher-Bas: Student Killed for €200,000 in Cryptocurrency
|
||
|
||
The body of a 19-year-old man, stabbed more than twenty times, was discovered in a pond in Plancher-Bas, Haute-Saône, last August. Two months after the preventive detention of three initial suspects, a couple was arrested, charged, and remanded in custody for complicity in murder. They all dreamed of stealing €200,000 in cryptocurrency belonging to Simon Arthuis, the victim, revealed the prosecutor of Besançon.

|

This is a horrifying case, both for its extreme cruelty and its sordid nature. The prosecutor of the Republic of Besançon detailed on Friday the details of the investigation opened following the discovery of a tortured body, stabbed more than twenty times, on August 18 in a pond in Plancher-Bas (Haute-Saône). The body of Simon Arthuis, a 19-year-old computer engineering student with no history, residing in Tours.
|
||
|
||
Three Quick Arrests
|
||
|
||
Three men were quickly taken into custody: the victim's lover, a 33-year-old from Montbéliard, and two individuals aged 18 and 23. They were all charged with murder, which implies premeditation. "All three admit to being involved in the death of this 19-year-old, even if no one admits to delivering the fatal blows," recalled Prosecutor Étienne Manteaux. The deceased's partner initially tried to confuse the investigation by narrating to the gendarmes a scenario of a homophobic attack, from which he alone had escaped.
|
||
|
||
A Couple Presumed to Be Complicit, but to What Extent?
|
||
|
||
The complex case has taken a new turn. The investigators from the Research Section (SR) of Besançon arrested two new individuals on Wednesday, October 20: the twin brother of the lover and his companion. What was the real role played by this couple? Further investigations are needed to shed light on this.
|
||
|
||
"After denying, they too admitted their involvement while minimizing it. They admit to having been informed of the project before the victim's death and not having reported it," said the prosecutor. Both were charged with complicity in murder and placed in pre-trial detention.
|
||
|
||
€200,000 in Cryptocurrency in Sight
|
||
The motive for this terrible ambush is clear: to extort money from this young engineer. "He had created a software for trading," specified Colonel of Gendarmerie Yves Raguin, generating "around €200,000 in various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin" on his account.
|
||
|
||
The five suspects, of very modest social status, admit to having lured him to rob him. "But as soon as we get into the details, their versions diverge," noted the prosecutor.
|
||
|
||
Thrown Agonizing into the Pond
|
||
|
||
According to Étienne Manteaux, the autopsy reveals some macabre clues: "The numerous blows observed between the sternum and the lower part of the face can attest to a session of torture or a passionate act. It is also known that none of these blows were fatal in themselves, and that the victim was agonizing when she was thrown into the pond."
|
||
|
||
Another piece of evidence against the recently incarcerated couple: the victim had voluntarily lunched at their home on August 18 at noon, in Plancher-les-Mines. Where she would have been drugged, according to the three initial suspects. "Toxicological analyses are underway to confirm this," added the prosecutor. The woman in question will also have to explain the opening of a Boursorama account in her name... A few days before the assassination of the young cryptocurrency holder.

Assassinat à Plancher-Bas : l’étudiant tué pour 200 000 € de cryptomonnaie
|
||
|
||
Le corps d’un jeune homme de 19 ans lardé d’une vingtaine de coups de couteau a été découvert, en août dernier, dans un étang de Plancher-Bas, en Haute-Saône. Deux mois après l’incarcération préventive de trois premiers suspects, un couple a été arrêté, mis en examen et écroué pour complicité d’assassinat. Tous rêvaient de voler 200.000 € de cryptomonnaie appartenant à Simon Arthuis, leur victime, révèle le procureur de Besançon.

C’est une affaire effarante, tant par son extrême cruauté et que par sa nature bassement crapuleuse. Le procureur de la République de Besançon a détaillé ce vendredi les dessous de l’enquête ouverte suite à la découverte d’un corps supplicié, lardé d’une vingtaine de coups de couteau, le 18 août dernier dans un étang de Plancher-Bas (Haute-Saône). Celui de Simon Arthuis, étudiant ingénieur en informatique sans histoire âgé de 19 ans, résidant à Tours.
|
||
|
||
Trois premiers hommes, l’amant de la victime, un Montbéliardais âgé de 33 ans, et deux individus de 18 et 23 ans, avaient été rapidement placés en garde à vue, puis mis en examen pour assassinat. Une notion qui implique la préméditation du crime. « Ils admettent tous trois être impliqués dans la mort de ce jeune homme de 19 ans, même si personne ne reconnaît avoir donné les coups mortels », rappelle le procureur Étienne Manteaux. Le compagnon du défunt avait initialement tenté de brouiller les pistes, en narrant aux gendarmes le scénario d’une agression de nature homophobe, dont lui seul aurait réchappé.
|
||
|
||
Un couple présumé complice, mais jusqu’à quel point ?
|
||
|
||
Le dossier, complexe, vient de prendre un nouveau tournant. Les limiers de la section de recherches (SR) de Besançon ont interpellé ce mercredi 20 octobre deux nouvelles personnes : le frère jumeau de l’amant et sa compagne. Quel est le réel rôle joué par ce couple ? Les investigations à venir doivent encore lever le voile.
|
||
|
||
« Après avoir nié, eux aussi ont reconnu leur implication, tout en la minimisant. Ils admettent avoir été informés du projet avant la mort de la victime et ne pas l’avoir dénoncé », indique le procureur. Tous deux ont été mis en examen pour complicité d’assassinat et placés en détention provisoire.
|
||
|
||
200 000 euros de cryptomonnaie dans le viseur
|
||
|
||
Le mobile de ce terrible guet-apens est assumé : extorquer à ce jeune ingénieur de l’argent. « Il avait créé un logiciel pour boursicoter », précise le colonel de gendarmerie Yves Raguin, générant sur son compte « environ 200 000 € de différentes cryptomonnaies, dont du Bitcoin ».
|
||
|
||
Les cinq suspects, d’une condition sociale très modeste, admettent l’avoir piégé pour le voler. « Mais dès qu’on rentre dans le détail, leurs versions divergent », constate le procureur.
|
||
|
||
Selon Étienne Manteaux, l’autopsie révèle quelques pistes macabres : « Les très nombreux coups constatés entre le sternum et le bas de la face peuvent attester d’une séance de torture ou d’un geste passionnel. On sait aussi qu’aucun de ces coups n’était mortel en lui-même, et que la victime était agonisante quand elle a été jetée dans l’étang ».
|
||
|
||
Autre élément à charge pour le couple récemment incarcéré : la victime avait de son plein gré déjeuner le 18 août midi à leur domicile, à Plancher-les-Mines. Où elle aurait été droguée, selon les trois premiers suspects. « Des analyses toxicologiques sont en cours pour le confirmer », prolonge le procureur. La femme mise en cause devra aussi s’expliquer sur l’ouverture d’un compte Boursorama à son nom… Quelques jours avant l’assassinat du jeune détenteur de cryptomonnaie.
