Maigret aux assises

About “Maigret aux assises”

Maigret is in the Assize Court, testifying in the trial of Gaston Meurant, a picture framer accused of murdering his aunt, Léontine Faverges, and a 4-year-old girl, Cécile Perrin. Meurant is found not guilty due to inconclusive evidence, but Maigret continues the investigation unofficially, uncovering that Meurant’s wife, Ginette, had been seen with a man she called Pierrot, and later discovering that Meurant had been followed to Chelles, where he shot Pierre Millard, an accomplice of his wife.
