Le Scouarnec told the court on Tuesday in a voice shaking with emotion that “I am responsible” for the deaths of Mathis Vinet, who died after an overdose in 2021 in what his family says was suicide, and Alan Roux, who was found hanged at his home in 2020.
The former doctor is already in prison after being sentenced in December 2020 to 15 years for raping and sexually assaulting four children, including two of his nieces.
The surgeon practised for decades until his retirement in 2017, despite a 2005 sentence for owning sexually abusive images of children.
