BESANCON, France – A French court could begin the trial of a Chilean man suspected of murdering his former Japanese girlfriend, who went missing in Besancon, eastern France, in 2016, possibly this fall following the effective conclusion of the investigation process, French prosecutors said Tuesday.
Nicolas Zepeda Contreras, 30, has denied killing Narumi Kurosaki whom he dated in Japan in the mid-2010s, saying he was not involved in the disappearance and believes she is still alive, prosecutor Etienne Manteaux told a news conference in Besancon.
