If Curtis is Guilty, Put Him Down, Says Christophe Ellul on First Day of Trial for Unintentional Homicide of His Partner

Christophe Ellul, a 50-year-old man, is on trial for the unintentional homicide of his pregnant partner, Elisa Pilarski. On November 16, 2019, he discovered her partially dismembered body in a forest near Villers-Cotterêts, with evidence suggesting her death was caused by a pack of twenty-one dogs during a hunting expedition attended by high-ranking officials, including the head of the gendarmerie of the Aisne department. Ellul has been fighting for seven years to prove that his dog is not solely responsible for the crime.
