Ophélie Kepler has confessed to attempting to murder her former boyfriend, Hugo Basque, in a series of revelations that have left her family in turmoil and led to the discovery of a body in Marseille. According to reports from programme-tv.net, Ophélie admitted she felt she had become a “boulet” (burden) to Basque and believed he intended to kill her.
Details of the Attempted Murder
During a confession at the hospital to Ariane, Ophélie detailed a chilling plan to protect herself. She stated that she waited for him to fall asleep, tied him up, and tried to kill him with a plastic bag, as reported by melty.fr. Ophélie further explained that Basque attempted to defend himself before losing consciousness.
Aya later informed Thomas and Charlie that the attempt occurred approximately nine months ago. While Ophélie’s mother, Vanessa, initially argued that the crime never actually took place and that her daughter might only face an investigation, the legal stakes remained high. Ulysse Kepler, Ophélie’s brother, questioned if the attempt had been planifié froidement
(coldly planned) before ultimately agreeing to defend her, despite risks to his own career.
Discovery of the Body
The situation escalated when Thomas and Gabriel discovered a corpse inside a trash bag in the streets of Marseille. The body was subsequently deposited in front of the Mistral, showing traces of earth and wearing a silver chain. According to Nouveautes Tele, Ulysse confirmed through formal analysis that the body was indeed Hugo Basque.
Medical analysis provided by Charlotte indicated that the body had likely been dead for several months, though decomposition appeared to have been interrupted. There were no obvious lesions visible on the corpse. The discovery of the silver chain, which Ariane recognized from an old photo, suggested that Ophélie had been lying about the outcome of her actions.
Family Reaction and Legal Fallout
The identification of the body triggered contradictory reactions within the Kepler family. Vanessa initially claimed she had killed Hugo in self-defense. In contrast, Ophélie reacted to the news with a “satanic” laugh, declaring that she was a murderer, that she was in deep trouble and completely finished, according to Nouveautes Tele.
The psychological shift in Ophélie has been noted by viewers and the actress who portrays her, Morgane Frioux. Addressing fan theories about a malevolent twin, Frioux confirmed that it is indeed Ophélie who committed the acts, stating that the character must assume responsibility for her actions and that the violence she suffered in the past likely shaped her current behavior.
