Attack on a prison van: emotion in Caen during the tribute to the victims
(Franceinfo)
On Wednesday May 22, a tribute took place in memory of the two prison officers killed during the attack on a van on Tuesday May 14. Present, Gabriel Attal promised that the murderers would be found and judged.
Carried by soldiers, the coffins of the two prison officers killed in the attack on their van enter the former remand center of Caen (Calvados). Solemn tribute from the Nation in the presence of the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, and Brigitte Macron. A few hours earlier, a guard of honor was formed to welcome the remains of the two men. Faces are closed and the emotion is palpable.
A sadness shared by the residents encountered on the morning of Wednesday May 22. “It’s really important to be present in these moments”, says a woman. Silence, then, at the time of the ceremony. The eyes of the 400 people present turn to the portraits of Captain Fabrice Moello, 52 years old, and his colleague, Arnaud Garcia, 34 years old. The Prime Minister awards them the Legion of Honor posthumously and promises the families that their murderers will be found and judged.
