Jane Birkin: Attempted burglary of her Paris apartment three days after her death

During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, individuals indeed tried to enter her home, learned BFM TV from a police source on Wednesday. “Shortly before 4 a.m., a childhood friend of the artist, who was at home, heard noises behind the door. Police officers dispatched to the scene found traces on the front door, the presence of pieces of wood on the ground, as well as damage to the metal door frame.“, it is reported.
