The man who surrendered Friday January 7 to the gendarmerie of Fréjus (Var), with a severed head and a penis in a bag, was indicted on Monday January 10 for “murder” and “act of torture and barbarism “, according to information from France Bleu Provence. He was imprisoned in Draguignan prison.
The 38-year-old individual presented himself to the gendarmerie with a bag containing the head of his victim, killed the day before, and his genitals. To investigators, he explained that the victim, also 38, had him “irritated” and that he had “afraid” during a violent argument at his home.
The public prosecutor of Draguignan specifies that the two men knew each other. Both are drug addicts. The victim used to come to the suspect’s home to take drugs. A room in the apartment was used as a shooting room. Known to the police, the two men have criminal records “very long “, specifies the prosecutor.
A psychiatric expertise and a reconstruction of the facts will take place. “There is an absolute need to understand what happened in this apartment because today we have very little information “, explains Patrice Camberou, the prosecutor. The suspect, who “gives a banal explanation to a terrible gesture”, refuses to answer questions.
