Annette Sommeur

Annette Sommeur was the victim in Off With their Heads (Case #2 of World Edition).

Profile
Annette was the editor-in-Chief for the magazine, Pretty Fair. At the time of her death, she wore a pink dress and black shades.

Murder Details
Annette Sommeur was found in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles with her head sliced off. The nearby guillotine was sharpened, and was soaked in blood, so it was filed as the murder weapon. Further analysis from Angela Douglas revealed traces of diacetyl on the cut. That combined with other substances revealed that the traces came from camembert cheese, which meant that Annette's killer ate camembert.

Killer and Motives
The killer was revealed to be the supervisor for the castle of Versailles, Constantin Perrier.

Constatin hated Carmen's sudden accusation of homicide, but the journalist-turned-detective took time to snap at him with the player's findings during the murder investigation. Constatin tried to pin the murder at Grace Goude (in which she hated Ms. Sommeur's guts) but Carmen continued her brow-beating at Constatin for the homicide. Money was the key reason as to why Constatin beheaded Annette as he wanted to live his life like a royal instead of looking after historic properties for a living. The same organization that threatened Enid to kill Prince Albert previously or else offered Constatin a high sum of money if he was able to execute Annette and steal the manuscript for that organization's retrieval. Carmen wanted to know who the party offered Constatin money for blood, but Constatin refrained from saying a word relaying a suspicion Carmen has about an organization having manuscripts for benefit. Constatin only did it for money, and recalled nothing about the theft of the manuscript, but knowing an audit was necessary, Carmen opted to ship Constatin to Judge Adaku for the meantime.

The last time Judge Adaku heard of guillotine use was 38 years ago before events of this game, but Constatin took advantage of the guillotine being in the Hall of Mirrors to execute Annette for money. Judge Adaku threw some Camus beliefs that "no cause justifies the deaths of innocent people", so with those words spoken, Judge Adaku sentenced Perrier to 25 years in jail.
