Reconstitution Of Gaston Dominici'S Crime In 1953

FRANCE - NOVEMBER 16: The suspect Gaston DOMINICI, followed by an inspector holding the weapon of the crime, walking towards the Durance river to show the inspectors the spot where the murderer threw the firearm after the crime. Judge PERIES proceeded to reconstitute the crime in the presence of a hundred reporters. Gaston DOMINICI first showed the judge the shed where he used to hide his shotgun. Then he went to the site where the victims' car was parked and laid down on the ground, saying that that was where he had possessed the English woman. He then mimed the fight he had with the husband, the inspector representing the husband who attempted to disarm him. Thenhe showed how, once he had wounded him in the hand, he shot him twice as he was fleeing across the road. He then turned towards the area where the woman was, explaining that she fell to the ground when he shot her. Then he indicated that the young girl got out of the car and ran towards the railroad tracks. He himself ran with agility chasing the inspector who was representing the girl, and mimed the shot he fired on her, which missed. Crossing the bridge above the railroad tracks, he attempts to hop over the parapet and to throw himself on the tracks, seemingly in a suicide attempt. Stopped in time, he was then brought to the area where Elisabeth's dead body was found. Once there, he was very reticent to show how he beat her, before miming the strike, with his cane, to the policman's head. (Photo by Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images)
