Me D'Alimonte, the defendant's lawyer, asks the last questions.
"You are a doctor, from what we have seen, you are a sensitive woman, we ask ourselves the question, how can we live so many years together, you have not seen all these signs in Patrick Goussé? "
"I saw them, but for all that I had feelings, that cannot be explained, I did not see it sink".
10:45 a.m. – “My daughter wore a bathrobe, it was Bilgérien”
The ex-wife of Pascal Bilger evokes his meeting with Patrick Goussé when his couple is separated, after a period when, under the impulse of the deceased, everyone could go to dating sites.
"Pascal had adventures on his side, me too, but it did not suit me. I decided to separate and there is the meeting with Patrick Goussé, there was a particular listening, he is a person who gave me confidence. Afterwards, I offered him to come and settle in Montpellier. I then graduated, divorced in 2014, joint custody was in place, he came into the house...".
Then the problems arise. She lent €40,000 to her new companion who does not work, "he had been laid off, it was a big worry". And Patrick Goussé and his authoritarian upbringing gets involved in everything and becomes humiliating. He grabs one of the children by the throat. One example among others?
"One of my daughters was wearing a bathrobe, she was set on fire because it looked Bilgérien". The children begin to leave the house. She asks him not to be present when they are there. And then there's this fixation on Pascal Bilger. Obsessive. "Yes he had this fixation, the word Bilgérien was an invention of Patrick Goussé".
Elisabeth remains hooked, however: “Today it scratches my mouth to say it, but I cannot deny that I had feelings for Patrick Goussé until the end. And yes, it hurts me to say it. say, today I feel like that, there was a form of influence, when you're in it you don't know".
"Since you've been on the stand, haven't you watched it?" note the court of assizes.
"No... I can't... He's an evil being, since the beginning of the week he's been terrorizing me, I don't want to have any connection with him anymore, his presence is unbearable to me".
9:30 a.m. – “He came back from wanting to kill Pascal”
Very moved, Elisabeth, the ex-wife of the deceased Pascal Bilger, companion of the accused Patrick Goussé at the time of the tragedy, is called to the bar. She is devastated.
"How was I able to bring Patrick Goussé into my life and the life of my children? How? How? This question has obsessed me for almost four years and will still obsess me until the end of my days. I I regret not having been able to protect my children, I want here, in front of you, to ask them for forgiveness. They lost their loving father, present, full of affection, they lived with this person (Patrick Goussé Editor's note) psychorigid, divisive who wanted to establish an iron discipline" she analyzes.
She remembers an episode before the tragedy, that of January 18, 2018, three months before the assassination of Doctor Bilger, who had his throat cut in his sleep. "On January 18, Patrick leaves the house for a professional appointment, he does not come back at night, I am worried, I think he is committing suicide... We did not know that he was coming back from want to kill Pascal". The victim was not at home, the killer postponed his plan that night.
