CWN Editor's Note: “Vatican officials are evidently convinced that Cedric Tornay, a vice-corporal in the Swiss Guard, killed his superior, Colonel Alois Estermann and his wife, then himself, in a shocking burst of violence,” CWN reported in 1998.

The file, she said, “confirmed all the doubts that the mother had about an investigation conducted in an absolutely superficial way.”
