Son-in-law retracts confession in Monaco heiress killing

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 09:55 AM PDT

One of the two suspects (C) into the murder of 77-year-old heiress Helene Pastor arrives at the Courthouse in Marseille, southeastern France, on June 27, 2014The son-in-law of a Monaco heiress gunned down in a Mafia-style contract killing has retracted his confession to ordering the shooting, saying he did not fully understand police. In an appearance before a bail judge, Wojciech Janowski "retracted his statements made while in custody" and "denies having ordered" the killing in May of 77-year-old Helene Pastor, his lawyer Erick Campana said. Prosecutors said last week that Janowski, a 64-year-old who had served as Poland's honorary consul in Monaco, confessed to masterminding the killing of his partner Sylvia's billionaire mother. Campana said he would demand an appeal court nullify Janowski's detention -- and statements made while in custody -- because he did not have access to a lawyer or interpreter during his 96 hours in custody.
