170. Omar Killed Me | France

The body of socialite Ghislaine Marchal was found inside her home in Mougins. She had been bludgeoned to death. She seemed to have left a clue, written in her own blood: Omar m’a tuer – Omar killed me. Omar was her gardener. What was curious was a grammatical error in the phrase. Why would a native French speaker like Ghislaine Marchal make such a mistake in her last moments alive? Did someone else write the clue, hoping to frame an innocent man?
