Dominici case: on France 2, "13h15 on Sunday" revisits this drama on the roads of Provence

To relive the Dominici affair, "1ph15 on Sunday" opts for incarnation. The characters in this story are portrayed by comedians as a fiction.
France Television
The programme presented by Laurent Delahousse just after the Sunday news of midday on France 2 immerses the viewer at the heart of the Dominici affair. In 1952, a couple of Englishmen and their 10-year-old daughter were brutally murdered on the side of a road in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
It is in one of the greatest criminal cases of the 20th century that is dedicated "1ph15 on Sunday", a programme proposed after the Sunday television news of France 2, on 23 March. That of the Dominici case.
It is 5 August 1952, on a road in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence near the commune of Lurs. This is where three lifeless bodies, two adults and one child, are found. They are an English couple, Sir Jack Drummond and his wife Ann Drummond, and their daughter Elizabeth is only 10 years old, on holiday in France. The little family had decided to camp under the stars. The night will finally be tragic.
Comedians who replay the characters in the case
The eyes quickly turn to a farm located a few hundred meters away. That of the Dominici family, dominated by Patriarch Gaston. A triple crime that will attract all the national but also international press to the Little Provence of the Southern Alps, because the investigation is stalled.
Many books, press articles, television reports, but also broadcasts have devoted themselves to this very mysterious fact. This time, there is no question of exhuming archival images. "3py on Sunday" opted for incarnation. The programme includes an English motorist who breaks down, in 2025, at the precise place where the Drummond family was murdered.
It is his 'aid mechanic', a singing shoreline, who will blow his fate. Like a "Miss Marple", the young woman, intrigued, will document herself to relive the investigation into this case, which ended with a trial in Digne-les-Bains.
Viewers dive into the survey of the 1950s
As in a fictional series, comedians interpret the main characters of the case. Starting in particular with Commissioner Sébeille, who is in Marseillecharge of the case in Marseille.
The role is somewhat reversed: he is interviewed by the young British woman to confide in the investigation and the pitfalls he encounters. An incarnation that plunges the viewer into the heart of the investigation and the young woman oscillates between integration into the images of the past and the present.
"3p.15 on Sunday" on France 2 on the Dominici case. Four-episode programme: "A family affair", "The investigation tramples", "The clan tears" and "The truth, the whole truth?"
