Tuesday, July 4, the fugitive suspected of having killed two people and injured a third was arrested in Avrillé (Maine-et-Loire). His hunt lasted nearly 15 days. Back on his journey.

The end of a run that lasted 15 days. It is 1 p.m., Tuesday, July 4, when the fugitive is arrested on a construction site in Avrillé (Maine et Loire). On a video filmed by a worker, we see the suspect struggling. At three, the police manage to handcuff him. How long had he been hiding in this small town north of Angers? It was not until their lunch break that workers discovered that food had disappeared from a shed. Warned, the police thoroughly searched the school under construction before falling on the suspect.

The suspect’s journey

Injured, Stéphane I. 42 years old is now neutralized. All morning, the gendarmes inspected hundreds of houses and garden sheds. Tuesday evening, the hunt is over and the residents are reassured. Incarcerated for six years in the Argentan detention center (adorns) for attempted murder, the suspect had benefited on June 20 from an administrative exit permit, but had not joined his cell.Two days later, a 40-year-old woman who hosted him, in Angers (Maine-et-Loire), was found dead at her home. The suspect then fled to Chailland (Mayenne), where he allegedly violently assaulted another 26-year-old pregnant woman to steal her car. It is in this same village that he is suspected of having killed a 72-year-old man to steal his vehicle. The suspect is expected to be taken into custody for homicide and attempted homicide.
