The 20 -year -old man, who fled to Italy after the facts, was indicted on Friday May 9 for “assassination due to religion” and imprisoned upon his return to France. The victim’s body, Aboubakar Cissé, was repatriated to Mali.
It is a new development in a case that shocked a lot. Olivier Hadzovic, suspected of having killed the stabbing of Aboubakar Cissé in a Mosque in the Grand-Combe (Gard), was indicted on Friday May 9 for “assassination due to religion” and placed in pre-trial detention, according to Le Parisien. The man fled to Italy before going to the authorities three days later. It was extradited in France in the morning.
On April 25, Aboubakar Cissé, 22, was stabbed ten times in a mosque. Its alleged attacker, unknown to the intelligence services, recognized the facts during his police custody, while denying any Islamophobic motivation.
A crime of a religious character, however, without clearly claimed mobile
According to the prosecutor, the act was committed in an “isolated context”, inhabited by an “obsessive desire to kill”. On BFMTV, the father of the respondent qualified his son as “mad” and apologized to the family of the victim.
-In the political class, the use of the word “Islamophobia” has been debated. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau refused to use it, believing that it is “too ideologically connoted”.
The body of Aboubakar Cissé was repatriated to Bamako last Thursday, where a ceremony brought together close and Malian authorities. The investigation continues to clarify the circumstances of the murder.
