the main suspect must be referred

The custody of a 16-year-old teenager, the main suspect in the murder of a Spanish teacher in Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), continues on Friday February 24. The young man should be referred in the middle of the morning. The prosecution must request his pre-trial detention, in an open investigation for premeditated murder. The teenager was previously unknown to the police and justice services. We know a little more about his profile.

Follow-up by a psychiatrist

In particular, he reportedly told investigators that he had been the victim of school harassment in his previous college. Which would have led him to make a suicide attempt in October 2022, by ingesting drugs. Since then, he was on antidepressants and was followed by a psychiatrist. However, no mental illness has been detected. It therefore appears today, in the eyes of justice, accessible to criminal liability, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Alexandra Lay, live from Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques).
