Criminal Investigations: The Fiancée’s Last Word, The Combier Case

It’s a story that Hollywood’s biggest screenwriters would envy- mixing love, murder and jealousy. A businessman reported to the police that one of his foremen, Maël Combier, is missing. The young man is 22, he is married and his wife is expecting a baby. Around the same time, Samira Ben Saad, a young 20-year-old woman, has also been reported missing for 48 hours. Her mother is very worried. But was it a connection, or just coincidence? The police quickly learn that the two knew each other and that for several months, and that they were having an affair.

The police assumed that there was no reason to worry- they are just another pair of lovers that eloped together. But a few days later, they discover that Samira’s body has been found near a rubbish dump in the Imperia region in the north of Italy, around 500km from the disappearance. She was shot in the back of the neck. Miraculously, Samira is still alive. But the headache for her would-be murderer is just beginning – as she recovers, she is going to speak soon…
