TONY MEILHON, THE TRAIL OF A MONSTER | M6 | 66 minutes

He is capable of cold-blooded violence, but at the same time can be intelligent and charming. That is the paradox of Tony Meilhon, condemned to life imprisonment last Thursday for the murder of Laetitia Perret in 2011 at Pornic near Nantes. For two weeks the 66 Minutes team were behind the scenes following the trial of the man whose personality remains an enigma. His childhood was a chaotic one, shuttled from one home to another. But how did this young man, who wasn’t suffering from any mental illness, reach such a degree of cruelty? Why was his own mother a plaintiff? A look back at the trail of a monster.
