A few hours later, the bodies of Kevin and Leslie were found, buried in a field, behind a hill, and in a wooded area near Puyravault (Charente-Maritime), about fifty kilometers from the place of their disappearance. .
Both victims were killed by blows delivered with a ” blunt object “according to the Poitiers prosecution, but the motive of the suspects remains unclear, between “sentimental disappointment and/or financial debt”tracks mentioned by the prosecutor.
The first could be related to possible feelings of Tom T. towards Leslie, of which he was the friend and who had put in a couple with Kevin shortly before the disappearance. The second could be linked to drug trafficking in which Kevin took part.
