"A French court on Friday sentenced an American man to 30 years in prison for killing his estranged wife and mother of his three children and her lover outside Paris in 2020. Charles Dietrich, 50, was found guilty of shooting dead his former partner and her new love interest in the town of Saint-Maur-des-Fosses in the southeastern suburbs of Paris in July 2020."
""You coldly contested the facts without expressing any regret or questioning your actions," the judge said. "I do not believe that by killing the mother of your three daughters, you are being a good father," the judge added. "I hope you understand that." "I do," Dietrich replied, speaking in English."
"They lived in France with their mother but spent Christmas and summer holidays with their father across the Atlantic. His estranged wife and her new lover were found naked, their bodies riddled with bullets and covered in blood in the woman's bedroom."
A French court sentenced Charles Dietrich, 50, to 30 years in prison for killing his estranged wife and her lover outside Paris in July 2020. The court imposed a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years and stripped Dietrich of his parental rights. The judge said Dietrich coldly contested the facts without expressing regret and stated that killing the mother of his three daughters did not make him a good father. Dietrich insisted he had been framed and followed proceedings with an interpreter. The victims were found naked and shot in the woman's bedroom; they had known each other for only two weeks.
