The motivation of the suspect remains a mystery, but he is described as a “local petty delinquent” according to Le Parisien. According to several testimonies, he even participated in the march organized on October 4 in Villefontaine (Isère) in tribute to Victorine, which had gathered some 6 000 people, reported LCI.
The suspect is known to the courts in particular for cases related to narcotics crimes. The father of a toddler appears on his Facebook profile on an expensive motorbike, in a swimming pool with a sea view or sitting on the hood of a luxury car, according to the Ile-de-France daily.
One of his old friends described the tumultuous relationship between the suspect and his wife. Another evoked the regular consumption of cocaine. In Villefontaine, Ludovic Bertin lived less than a kilometer from the home of Victorine Dartois’ parents, or less than ten minutes on foot from a small stream where the body of the young woman was found.
Shortly after his arrest, the suspect was also taken to the scene of the discovery of Victorine’s body, according to LCI. It was a question of confronting him with the realities observed on the ground by the technicians in criminal identification. Analyzes were also carried out on Bertin’s clothes to compare the genetic fingerprint of the suspect and the DNA elements collected on the personal effects of the deceased.

The suspect is said to have become “angry” after an altercation with the victim. According to Le Parisien, Ludovic Bertin declared in police custody that he had killed the young woman after an exchange that upset him.
He met the young student in a parking lot in Villefontaine while she was walking home, after an afternoon spent at the shopping center. Ludovic Bertin approached her with a sexual intent and was probably rejected which lead to a heated discussion with her. During this exchange, he allegedly became so annoyed by comments made by Victorine Dartois, that he dragged her off and raped her before killing her.
He has been convicted several times already, in particular for carrying a weapon, theft and vandalism when he was still a minor. In 2019, the Lyon court condemned him for burglaries committed in eastern Lyon during 2017 and 2018.
Thus known to the courts in particular for narcotics crimes, Ludovic Bertin was described as a “local petty delinquent” by a source close to the investigation.
“This Wednesday, October 14, 2020 afternoon, the custody of the man suspected of the murder of Victorine Dartois was extended by an examining magistrate from Grenoble. This individual, domiciled in the same commune as that of the victim, is known to the gendarmerie and justice services for various common law offenses. In the interest of the current investigations, it is not possible at this stage to give more information,” Boris Duffau, Deputy Public Prosecutor announced.
According to sources, investigators have found DNA evidence on Victorine’s clothes, Dauphiné Libéré reported. Shortly before the discovery of the body, Sylvie Dartois, the mother of the young woman , had made a call on RTL in a bid to find her daughter.
Patricia, Victorine’s aunt, collapsed when interviewed by RTL after the girl’s body was found: “It’s awful. There are no words. Victorine was 18 years old, her life was taken from her. I do not understand how one can act like this. I hope they will stop the one or those who committed these atrocities and broke a whole family.”
Victorine had disappeared after contacting her relatives to tell them that she was on her way home.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems.

The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
