Natalia Popova, burned alive in her car: her husband and daughter denounce a botched investigation

It’s a horror scene broken into a Pagnol-style setting. On October 4, 2004, on the borders of Marseille, in the town of Le Rove, a motorist saw suspicious flames around 9:40 p.m. On their first visit, the firefighters did not notice anything in particular. As they turn back, an individual waves to them. Gennady Popov, that’s his name, guides them through the scrubland to his charred vehicle.
