Trial and sentencing of Stéphane Iganache

Overview

In September 2026, the Angers Assize Court held a trial for Stéphane Iganache, a 45-year-old inmate accused of two murders committed during a two-week escape from the Argentan detention center in July 2023. The victims included Adélaïde Duplouy, who was found strangled in Angers, and Jean-Claude Havard, who was found dead in Chailland with multiple wounds.

Iganache faced additional charges of escape, violence, theft, and the suspected assault of a pregnant woman. Following the trial, the court sentenced Iganache to life imprisonment. The sentence includes a 22-year security period, making him ineligible for release before 2048, and a rare security detention order requiring annual reviews of his capacity for release.
