Marie-Thérèse Garcia, aged 79, began her trial today for the 1995 murder of her sister-in-law, Corinne Di Dio. Di Dio’s dismembered body was discovered floating in a trunk in the Seine River. Prosecutors allege the motive stemmed from an affair between Di Dio and Garcia’s former partner. The case has garnered attention due to Garcia’s contrasting public personas – known by nicknames like “Ma Dalton” and “Mamie gâteau” (Grandma Cake). The trial is expected to delve into the circumstances surrounding the decades-old crime and Garcia’s potential involvement. Details of the initial investigation and evidence presented will be central to the proceedings. The accused faces significant penalties if convicted of the murder charge.
