Timeline

French author Emmanuel Carrère entered into correspondence with imprisoned Romand to write a book, published in 2000, L'Adversaire (The Adversary), based on the case. Nicole Garcia directed a movie, L'Adversaire (2002), based on the book; actor Daniel Auteuil played the part of Romand (renamed Jean-Marc Faure in the film). Two other movies were loosely based on Romand's life: the French L'Emploi du temps (2001) (English title: Time Out) and the Spanish La vida de nadie [es] (English title: Nobody's Life). Romand's deception also formed the basis of the "Subterraneans" episode of the BBC crime drama Waking The Dead (third episode of the fifth season in 2005). The episode 16 (season 1) "Phantom" of Law & Order: Criminal Intent is also constructed around this story.

Romand's trial began on 25 June 1996. On 6 July 1996 Romand was sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole for 22 years; he became eligible for parole in 2015. The appeals court in Bourges granted Romand a parole in 2019 after being imprisoned for 26 years. Romand is reputed to suffer from narcissistic personality disorder.

On 9 January 1993 Romand withdrew 2000 francs and borrowed a .22 long rifle from his father for which he purchased a suppressor, and gas canisters, and asked for them to be gift wrapped. That night, he beat his wife to death on the couple's double bed with a rolling pin. He left her body until the morning, sleeping as normal. The next morning, he woke his children, had breakfast, and watched cartoons. He put them to bed that night, and once they had fallen asleep, shot them both in the head. After these killings, the only people who could expose him were his parents and his ex-mistress, who wanted back 900,000 francs that she had given him as a favour.
