The suspect was serving a criminal sentence of 12 years in prison for attempted murder of a spouse and three years in prison for damage to property at the Argentan remand center (Orne Originally from Reunion, he is also suspected “of attempted murder“on a woman during her run, said the prosecutor.

“A dangerous criminological profile”

The research is concentrated north of Angers in Maine-et-Loire in the towns of Avrillé, Montreuil-Juigné and Cantenay-Épinard, specifies the prosecutor. According to Eric Bouillard, the suspect presents a “dangerous criminological profile (…) He must be arrested before another tragedy“.
