What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

Marchal have disappeared as a manufacturer.
It was a family affair belonging to the Marchal family. Ghislaine Marchal was murdered at her home in 1991 and found in a locked storeroom.
The name of Omar was written in blood on a wall, Omar was the gardener. He spent 2 years in prison having been condemned to 18 years. He was graced by the President of the Republic and has since been trying to clear his name.

Omar must have done something to piss someone off.

Fired up the Corsa today for first time this year. We had a very drawn out post winter - no spring - finally summer here on the Canadian prairies.  Been riding my modern bike but first ride of the year on whatever Laverda(s)  I have had, always puts a big smile on my face, ever since 1982.  Was hoping to get out to Wolfgangs place in Nakusp BC this year on it. I think we will see some travel restrictions lifted within Canada as number of Covid cases very small in the western Canadian  provinces.

Hmmm. You know, I never made the connection, Paul  ...
 
I wonder if anyone thought of the possibility of ... framing Omar???!!! How feckin easy is it to make it look like poor old Omar did the deed?! Were the handwriting experts able to identify the work of Ghislaine? Shed some light on things ... er, many apologies for the bad pun.  ???

Paul,

What was Omar's defence based on? Alibi? Illiterate?

It's a big mess.
No very firm evidence really either way. A rather bungled investigation it would seem.
Omar Raddad, a Moroccan, had been in France 6 years and spoke only Berber on arrival.
He had money problems due to gambling which was one of the motives put forward.

Mixing the infinitive "tuer" with tu?(e) is very common in French and apparently Ghislaine Marchal would occasionally make that mistake.

Here's the Wikipedia article, in French, no doubt that there's an English version out there.

Bloody grisly scene, far out, I read the english wiki. But to be convicted due to poor grammar stretches it, when you see how hopeless many people are on forum?s and social media`s.
 
Nothing Laverda related, but; Rainy day here.... filled in some time making lamb, garlic, rosemary and mint sausage rolls...... Mmmm

12 cooking now, another 11 waiting their turn.
