French ‘seduction coach’ jailed for life for savage murder of ex-girlfriend

A self-styled expert in "seduction" and "masculinity" has been jailed for life for the murder of his ex-girlfriend in a town outside Paris in 2020.

He was also convicted of the attempted murder of her new partner, as well as the attempted murder and sexual assault of her younger sister on the same night.

Referring to his video output, the prosecutor said it was clear he did "not tolerate any woman standing up to him". She said he had a "homicidal hatred of women".

In court, he invoked his right to stay silent during much of the questioning. At the end of the hearing, he said this was because he felt "great shame".
