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.
