20min.ch (French) —

A Swiss court in Lausanne convicted a man for complicity in murder and sexual acts against his daughter, sentencing him to four and a half years in prison without parole. The man helped his terminally ill friend die by suicide in 2020, providing gas, medication, and a firearm, while knowing she planned to kill her disabled daughter. The court called his actions premeditated and cruel, noting he never opposed the plan. The psychiatric report described him as having a "highly criticizable attitude" with vague, contradictory statements. He has ten days to appeal the verdict.
