FRIENDS and colleagues of the man police believe was killed and buried under an Ellesmere Port shed will gather at a memorial next week.
The service for Christophe Borgye, a Ryanair flight attendant whose remains are believed to be those found, will be held on Friday, June 7, at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool, beginning at 3pm.
Father Liam Collister will give readings and lead prayers while people who knew Mr Borgye – who was 35 when he was allegedly killed on April 23, 2009 – are also invited to say a few words.
Mr Borgye, originally from Strasbourg in France, has still not been officially identified as police try to locate his dental records in France.
What are thought to be his remains were discovered encased in concrete on Thursday, May 16, almost four years to the day after he was reported missing by work colleagues at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
After the memorial service, friends will meet at the Brookhouse pub on Smithdown Road, Liverpool, from 4pm.
In 2007, Mr Borgye lived on Smithdown Road with Sebastien Bendou, 35, and Manuel Wagner, 25.
Bendou, 35, was originally charged with murder but later sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Wagner and his cousin, Dominik Kocher, 34, both of Abbey Bank, New Abbey, Dumfries, Scotland will appear at Chester Crown Court on Monday, June 10, charged with assisting in the concealment of Mr Borgye’s body and failing to provide him with a legal burial.
The pair were remanded in custody after an earlier hearing at West Cheshire Magistrates Court.
