FRANCE-COURT-HOMICIDE-AGNELET

Maurice Agnelet leaves the courthouse escorted by gendarmes after a hearing of his third trial on April 10, 2014, in Rennes, western France. Italian police said today they are launching an investigation into the possible murder of a French heiress 36 years ago, after fresh revelations emerged from the trial of her former lover. Maurice Agnelet was this week accused by his son of killing Agnes Le Roux, 29, during a camping trip to Monte Cassino in Italy in 1977, in the latest twist in a sensational case which has gripped France. "We are carrying out an initial investigation, the results of which will be communicated to the local public prosecutor's office," Captain Silvio De Luca, chief of the Carabinieri military police in Cassino south of Rome, told AFP. Le Roux's body was never found and Agnelet, 76, is currently undergoing his third trial for her murder.
