The DNA of Francois Verove, who was reportedly retired, has been matched to crime scenes, ending a 35-year manhunt.
A decades-long manhunt for a notorious French serial killer appears to be over after a former military police officer confessed in a suicide note to being the murderer.
The man, identified by French media as Francois Verove, was found dead on Wednesday in the southern town of Le Grau-du-Roi, on France’s Mediterranean coast.
A note found alongside the 59-year-old’s body identified him as the killer nicknamed Le Grêlé, meaning the pockmarked man, according to French media reports.
