supermarket. On December 2, 1991, inspectors from the regional police of Nancy interrogated him, but due to a lack of evidence, they released him after 10 hours in custody. On February 25, 1992, Aiutino punctured the tire of Bernadette Bour, a 40-year-old medical sales representative, and started helping her repair it. Aiutino then offered Bernadette to follow her to a place where she could wash her hands, and then led her to the basement on the premise. Aiutino followed Bour, attempted to rape her, and then beat her to death with an iron rod. He disposed of her body in Allondrelle-la-Malmaison near his home on Joseph Labbé street. Police did not immediately investigate the crime, enabling Aiutino to flee. The Belgian police later arrested Aiutino at his father's house in Aubange. Aiutino initially confessed his crimes, but then withdrew his confession and accused his father. This delayed Aiutino's extradition to France, where penalties were more severe. Aiutino was finally extradited in 1993. He accused his brother for the three murders. List of victims Trial and conviction On March 2, 1998, Aiutino was tried before the cour d'assises of Meurthe-et-Moselle in Nancy. Psychiatric experts diagnosed him as an incurable psychopath, fully responsible for his actions. Aiutino confessed solely to the murder of Bour and was sentenced to life imprisonment on March 6, 1998, with a minimum imprisonment of 18 years. By the end of the trial, he had served five years of detention with a possible release in 2011. In 2011, it was rumored that he was released, which was proven incorrect. Aiutino assaulted several supervisors in the Nancy Prison in November 1998. Consequently, he was sentenced to an additional five months.
