Murder of a game warden in 1946: the Court of Appeal refuses to overturn Mis and Thiennot's conviction

In 1946, a game warden named Louis Boistard was murdered in Saint-Michel-en-Brenne, France. The perpetrators, Raymond Mis and Gabriel Thiennot, were convicted of murder and sentenced to fifteen years of forced labor. Nearly eighty years later, their request for judicial review was rejected by the Court of Revision, which concluded that while investigators did not explore all possible leads, the suspicions against the two hunters were supported by evidence within the case file. The case has become a local legend in the Berry region, where 31 municipalities have public spaces named after the pair. The court’s decision highlights the persistence of historical convictions despite ongoing efforts to seek their rehabilitation.
