Kuka päivitti Bertrand Cantat?

Bertrand Cantat (s. 5. maaliskuuta 1964 Pau) on ranskalainen laulaja, lauluntekijä ja väkivaltarikollinen. Hän on vuonna 1985 perustetun Noir Désir -yhtyeen perustajajäseniä. Cantat hakkasi naisystävänsä näyttelijä Marie Trintignantia alkoholin vaikutuksen alaisena heinäkuussa 2003 hotellihuoneessaan Vilnassa. Trintignant vajosi 19 iskun jälkeen koomaan ja kuoli myöhemmin vammoihinsa.

Cantat tuomittiin Trintignantin murhasta vankilaan, mutta hänet on sittemmin vapautettu, ja hän on palannut musiikkiuralleen. Tapaukseen liittyvä keskustelu ei kuitenkaan ole laantunut Ranskassa, vaan se herättää yhä julkista kiistaa naisiin kohdistuvasta väkivallasta.

Marie Trintignant (French pronunciation: [maʁi tʁɛ̃tiɲɑ̃] ; 21 January 1962 – 1 August 2003) was a French film and stage actress. She appeared in over 30 movies during her 36-year career. Her family was deeply involved in France's film industry, as her father was an actor and her mother was a director, producer, and screenwriter.

In 2003, Trintignant began an affair with Bertrand Cantat, the lead singer of French rock band Noir Désir. That same year, Cantat, Trintignant, and Trintignant's mother traveled to Lithuania so Trintignant and her mother could finish work on a television movie. On 26 July 2003, while in their shared hotel room, Cantat flew into a jealous rage during an argument over a text message sent to Trintignant by her husband, from whom she was separated; Cantat proceeded to beat Trintignant severely about the head and face. She died days later from cerebral edema brought about by her injuries. Cantat was convicted of "murder with indirect intent" in her death and received an eight-year prison sentence, of which he served four before his early release. Trintignant's case became a cause célèbre in the discussion of domestic violence and leniency towards perpetrators.
