The owner of the Wintzenheim Gite, where a deadly fire claimed 11 lives in August 2023, will be tried for involuntary homicides and injuries in early 2027, announced Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau. The trial is expected to take place from January 25 to February 10.
On August 9, 2023, ten adults with mild mental disabilities and one accompanying person died in the Gite fire. The building, an undeclared and non-compliant old barn, was located in Wintzenheim, a commune near Colmar. The fire was likely caused by a candle lit by one of the animators.
