In terms of the investigation, over the hours, elements accumulate around the author of the attack. His profile, radicalized, is added to a similar family circle. In recent hours, a mysterious inmate appeared, suspected of having incited the young man to attack.
The interrogation of Mohammed M. at the anti-terrorist sub-directorate has been at a standstill for two days. The police are looking into the family background of the attacker. “The father made the children be mean to their mother.” reports a neighbor of the family. The young man of 20 years old was still in contact with his father and brother.
Eight people are still heard
Investigators are also looking into a contact that Mohammed M. had with an inmate in a prison in Ailier. The lone wolf theory is fading away. “We move from terrorist cells to jihadized family cells,” declares Hugo Micheron, author of Anger and forgetting: democracies facing European jihadism. The police are certain that the attack was premeditated. Eight other people are still being questioned in this case.
