A gay couple that went missing on March 7, 2009 in the French village of Cher has been found dead nearly three months later, AFP reports.
The couple had been buried alive, officials said.
The bodies of Luc Amblard, 56, and Guy Bordenave, 39, who were entertainers living in the small village of Couy, were found on June 4, bound, gagged and buried in a hole about five feet deep, prosecutors say. The cause of death was suffocation as confirmed by autopsy, said Prosecutor Eric Mathais at a news conference: “We did not find any trace of gunshot, or traces of violence, alcohol or drugs.”
Two men are in jail on charges of, among other things, kidnapping and false imprisonment. It’s unclear whether the victims’ sexuality played a role. One of them led police to the location of the bodies.
How about we take this to the next level?

This is so sad, it is unfortunate the perpetrators will not be treated the same way.

Yeesh. Sounds like that movie “The Vanishing.”

Buried alive, that must have really been terrifying as they were being buried. Horrible.

It’s so hard to not wish these monsters the most painful deaths imaginable, but torturing them won’t bring back their victims and would just bring us all down to their level of sick cruelty. Lock them up in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives where they can do no harm to anyone else, ever again.
Sorry, I had to work that out aloud. Some things really try a person’s beliefs.

Typical. The heterosexual police completely ignore the LIKELY anti-gay motive of these killings. They instead focus on a little bit of money that was stolen. This is a typical anti-gay killing. A female friend of one the victims is the girlfriend to one of the heterosexual killers. Basically, these two heterosexual males were strangers to the victims. The gay victims were killed in the most burtal fashion and then some property was stolen. The heterosexual killers took advantage of gay people’s accomdating nature and were able to kill them with no fight, the gay couple trusted them without question.

May mighty mother Morrighan ensure a just punishment for those who were involved in this disgusting act against one of my Brothers!
Please keep us up-to-date about this! I’m surprised that the local news haven’t mentioned this story, or the one about the “white matter” ensuring that we are not wired to want to have sex with children!

I hope there is a death penalty for these evil monsters.

Evil straight men. THEY ARE the problem, don’t you forget it. Get angry, and arm yourself, brothers and sisters.

I gave up ever trusting straight men long ago and this story is the reason. The risk is simply too high.
Blahblah
@Daniel Motta Mello: I know right?! I feel like an asshole; as soon as I read “Gay couple in the french town of Cher,” I lol’d and stopped reading…
