Roger Bontems was a former French military man who, after the Algerian War, became a repeat offender and was ultimately sentenced to death for complicity in homicides committed during a hostage-taking. Retired from service after a serious motorcycle accident, he worked as a plumber before turning to a series of crimes that led to imprisonment and long prison terms.
In 1971, while already held at the Clairvaux central prison, Bontems and his cellmate Claude Buffet organized an escape that culminated in a violent hostage-taking in the prison infirmary, which drew wide public and television attention. After security forces intervened, two hostages were found dead; subsequent investigations attributed the killings to Buffet, while Bontems was judged to be an accomplice.
Tried in Troyes in June 1972 and defended by Robert Badinter among others, Bontems was sentenced to death with no mitigating circumstances acknowledged. His petition for annulment and his appeal for presidential clemency were denied; he was guillotined in November 1972 at La Santé prison. The case provoked public debate and influenced figures in France’s abolitionist movement.
