The suspect for the rape and murder of a young woman in northern France almost two decades ago was under guard in a hospital Saturday after he swallowed pesticide in an apparent suicide bid following his conviction.

Willy Bardon, on trial over the murder of Elodie Kulik in 2002 in a case that has attracted strong interest in France for years, ingested the substance at the courthouse in the northern city of Amiens late on Friday.

He said indications are given by his family and also an analysis showed that Bardon had swallowed a pesticide in the seconds after the verdict was announced at court in Amiens at the climax of a 13-day trial. Before dying, she managed to call emergency services and the harrowing 26-second recording was the key piece of evidence in the trial.
