![]() ![]() The pair eventually went to Duquesnoy's office in Paris's 9th arrondissement, where they drank a few glasses of port wine before Roy covered his sex partner's head with a leather hood and tied his ankles and hands behind his back. Like the previous victim, he used the Minitel to look to cruise for people who would indulge into his masochistic tendencies. ĭuring the night of October 19 to 20, Roy went to the house of 48-year-old Gilbert Duquesnoy, an astrologer who lived in Champigny-sur-Marne and practiced under the name "Nathaniel the Magician". An autopsy determined that he had been asphyxiated or strangled, as there were traces of a tie around his neck. His car was found in a parking lot about a kilometer away from the marina. Bernard's naked body was found on the following morning by a fisherman, with a pair of pants covering his head. ![]() After allowing Roy to gag him with a scarf, tie his hands behind his back and his testicles with a string, he was left to suffocate before Roy crushed his head with a large stone. Bernard lived in Issy-les-Moulineaux with his widowed, retired mother and frequently used his Minitel to look for hook-ups to satiate his masochistic tendencies. On the afternoon of October 11, 1990, Roy made an appointment with 46-year-old insurance agent Paul Bernard to meet up at a marina in Draveil, near the edge of the Seine. Around this time, he started to frequently use Minitel, spending more and more time on it, up to several hours a day. Due to the failure of his business, Roy became depressed and started spending most of his time in bed eating, eventually growing to 120 kilograms in size. Now left with much free time, he decided to open a promotional video company based in his home, but this failed to generate any interest. This changed in 1988, when his wife hired a friend to help out, which left Roy with nothing to do. Īccording to Roy's wife, he was a kind, generous father who always looked after his family and even actively helped her run the bookstore, refusing to accept a salary for his efforts. During this time, he also met his future wife, the owner of a local bookstore, whom he later married and moved in with at a house in Villejuif, where they soon had two children together. After graduating, he went to a sailing school and eventually became a skipper, with his profession allowing him to meet people such as Florence Arthaud, Philippe Poupon and Olivier de Kersauson, and even worked with a close companion of Nicolas Hulot. He grew up pampered by his parents and studied at a religious school, the Brothers of Saint-Vincent de Paul, but was considered a mediocre student. Rémy Roy was born in an indeterminate region of France in 1958. He earned his nickname due to the fact that he messaged prospective victims through the "pink Minitel" (French: Minitel rose, a term referring to the use of the Minitel, a telephone-based French Videotex, for erotic purposes) and offering to engage in BDSM in order to lure them. Rémy Roy (born 1958), known as The Minitel Killer ( French: Le Tueur du Minitel), is a French serial killer who killed three gay men from 1990 to 1991 out of a self-admitted hatred towards homosexuals. ![]()
