At 9.30am in the Grande Salle of Paris's historic Palais de Justice, a story worthy of a bestselling thriller will begin to unfold; a tale of a mysterious death, international kidnapping, a struck-off doctor, cover-ups, legal loopholes and a grief-stricken father's promise to his dead daughter.
It is the story of Kalinka Bamberski, a pretty, sporty 14-year-old French girl who was found dead in bed one morning in July 1982 while spending the summer with her mother and stepfather in Germany.
The stepfather was Dr Dieter Krombach, a German GP, who admitted giving the teenager an injection of iron compound to help her tan more easily, and who was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced in his absence to 15 years in jail in France – but remained at liberty in Germany.
It is also the story of André Bamberski and his 29-year quest to bring to justice the man he is convinced raped and killed his daughter, and fulfil the posthumous vow he made her. More...
