Two days after killing a teenager who had refused to comply during a traffic check, the policeman in question was placed in pre-trial detention at the Santé prison.
Faced with IGPN investigators, he tried to explain his gesture, Thursday, June 29. The 34-year-old, seasoned and well-regarded policeman, author of the fatal shooting, was presented to an investigating judge in the morning. He is indicted for intentional homicide and remanded in custody in the prison of Health.
A second investigation opened
Another investigation is opened, this time in forgery for writing. Indeed, in his first statements on the minutes, the official had claimed to have fired when the vehicle was heading towards him, a situation of self-defense. However, images circulating on social networks have since undermined his version. He could therefore also be indicted. This evening, his lawyer claims that his client did indeed act in self-defense. The first passenger was interviewed by investigators. The second is actively sought.
