Civil lawsuit alleges motive in killing of tenant in SF's Outer Sunset

The civil complaint, filed on behalf of the victim's son, accuses landlord Philippe Chagniot of murdering tenant Eric Bigone in order to sell his 47th Avenue property without a renter inside. Chagniot and his wife are accused of taking drastic steps to remove Bigone, including a campaign of harassment in the months leading up to the alleged killing. The allegations have not been proven in court.
