Les Inrockuptibles apologises for ‘suffering caused’, after angry backlash to edition featuring singer who beat Marie Trintignant to deathFrench music magazine Les Inrockuptibles has been criticised as “disgusting” for putting Bertrand Cantat, the singer convicted of murdering his girlfriend, on its front cover. Cantat was found guilty of murdering actor Marie Trintignant in 2003 and served four years of an eight-year jail sentence. The decision by Inrockuptibles to make Cantat its cover star drew criticism online, with Twitter users quick to condemn the move. Romain Barrilliot (@skacky) So nice of Les Inrocks to have wife beater and murderer Bertrand Cantat on their cover as if he's redeemed somehow. https://t.co/DFZm7rZ3XpCaspar Salmon (@CasparSalmon) Appalled and sickened to see the murderer Bertrand Cantat on the cover of @lesinrocks to promote his new album.
