Jail for spurned man, 93, who killed love interest

Judges sentenced a 93-year-old Frenchman to a decade behind bars on Friday for brutally slaying a female friend who rejected his romantic advances. He later told police he wanted to teach her a lesson. France's eldest detainee was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday for having killed an 82-year-old woman who he had a crush on, but rejected his advances. A court in the northeastern city of Reims found Marcel Guillot, a 93-year-old man nicknamed "Grandfather Marcel", guilty of "death blows on a vulnerable person with premeditation." The body of Nicole El Dib was found in December 2011 in a stream that crossed her property near the village of Saint-Gilles in a pool of blood. She had been beaten, strangled and stabbed to death, but the killer would escape police for another five months. A DNA analysis of blood found on a watch left on the crime scene eventually pointed the finger at Guillot, who was arrested as he began his annual vacation on an island on the French Atlantic Coast.
