An obsessive French father accused of drugging his children's tennis rivals, and unintentionally killing one of them, was jailed for eight years last night. Christophe Fauviau, 46, was found guilty of manslaughter. One of the players whose drink he had spiked died after losing control of his car on the way home from a match.
Fauviau had faced a potential 20 years in jail for "premeditated administration of a harmful substance that caused death without intention". But the advocate general, Serge Mackowiak, called for a lighter sentence of between eight and 10 years. He accepted that Fauviau had not sought to kill or injure the players.
