Acclaimed French chef's body found hidden in freezer | The body of an acclaimed French chef has been found after two years of him going missing, hidden in a freezer. The frozen corpse of Jean-Francois Poinard was only found
after his girlfriend Guylene Collober, 51, told her daughter "something unfortunate"
had happened to him. Her daughter informed the police and they found the 71-year-old's
body, which they believe had been secreted in a freezer at their home in Lyon
for up to two years, in the foetal position and covered with plastic bags. Collober
is said to have collapsed in tears when officers arrived at the house. "I think
you'll find what you're looking for," Sky News quoted her as telling cops. Collober
has been taken into custody and charged with hiding a body and any further charges
would depend on the findings of the post-mortem. "An initial examination suggests
the body could have been there for up to two years. A full post-mortem examination
will be carried out to discover the precise cause of death," a police spokesman
added. Poinard was a famous chef in the 1970s and 80s, and ran a series of restaurants
in the French culinary capital of Lyon. He has been described by food critics
as one of the 'great names' in gastronomy. |
