Criminal Investigations: They Saw Nothing, The Floury Case

This is the story of not one, but four murder attempts on one man. It was late at night when the 43-year-old Lionel Floury left his family home to help his wife Muriel, who had gotten a flat tire on a small country road. While he was fixing the tire, Lionel was attacked by a man who came out of nowhere.

He took an iron bar to the head, and was stabbed seven times. Despite his severe injuries, he managed to push his attacker who fled into the night. It took him several months in hospital to recover. An investigation is immediately launched by the police, who quickly discover that a year earlier, Lionel’s car was sabotaged twice, with the perpetrator still unknown. Who could have something against this father of seven?

For 6 months, the investigation is at a standstill… The case might have been put to rest there, but then Lionel’s condition quickly deteriorates. The man can no longer speak coherently. Not able to walk or to eat on his own, he is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Analyses reveal the presence of antidepressants – at 17 times the normal dose. There’s no doubt about it, he was being poisoned! Four murder attempts on one man! It will not be long until the investigators discover who is behind it all…
