Éric Mouzin, father of Estelle Mouzin, reacted with profound emotion to the disappearance of 11-year-old Lyhanna in the Gers region. More than 20 years after his daughter Estelle's abduction, he said his first thoughts were with the schoolgirl's parents, plunged into unbearable anguish after the discovery of a child's body near the search area. For him, this moment directly echoes his own story. He describes a brutal upheaval, that of a family thrust into an unknown, dark world where all sense of security vanishes. "When I think of them, I feel like it's me." "He says.
A pain rekindled by waiting and uncertainty
Éric Mouzin emphasizes the need to support Lyhanna's parents. He hopes they are kept as informed as possible about the progress of the investigation, unlike what he says he experienced after Estelle's disappearance in 2003.
As a reminder, a child's body was found on a farm in Gers, wearing clothing similar to that worn by Lyhanna at the time of her disappearance. Formal identification and forensic findings must be established through an autopsy.
“Surreal”: Éric Mouzin denounces the political reactions
Éric Mouzin doesn't mince words when criticizing Gérald Darmanin and Laurent Nuñez. According to him, the two ministers give the impression of "to discover the existence of dysfunctions within their ministry", a stance that he considers "Surprising, surreal"Estelle Mouzin's father believes that these failures They do not date from the Lyhanna case: they are known "for a very long time"He points to a structural problem of resources and organization: without magistrates, without sufficient resources, and with a weakened judicial institution, "the machine" cannot function properly.
Estelle Mouzin's father points out that the delays, lack of resources, and organizational failings of the justice system are nothing new. In the Lyhanna case, the main suspect had already been the subject of several complaints and reports of sexual offenses against minors, which fuels questions about the previous judicial handling of the case.
The same feeling of abandonment in the face of the judicial system
Éric Mouzin draws a parallel with the Estelle Mouzin case, marked by years of uncertainty before Michel Fourniret's responsibility was acknowledged. Without resources, a sufficient number of magistrates, and a robust organization, the judicial system cannot effectively protect victims. This intervention lends a particular resonance to Lyhanna's tragedy.
