The man suspected of being the murderer of the Philippines must be extradited this Wednesday from Switzerland to France, we learned this Monday franceinfo from a source close to the file, confirming information from CNEWS. This 22-year-old man accepted his extradition last week which he had initially refused. He was heard again this Monday by the public prosecutor of the canton of Geneva and confirmed his consent to a surrender to France according to a simplified extradition procedure, the Paris prosecutor's office indicated.
He was arrested in Geneva, Switzerlande, four days after the murder of Philippine, a 19-year-old student at Paris-Dauphine University found buried in the Bois de Boulognein western Paris, on September 21.
This murder caused immense emotion in France and also a virulent public debate. The suspect was already convicted in 2021 for rape, then released in June 2024, “at the end of the sentence”according to the Paris prosecutor's office. He was then placed in an administrative detention center in Metz. Upon his release, he was placed under house arrest in a hotel in Yonne where he never went. Having failed to comply with his reporting obligation, he was included in the wanted persons file the day before the murder, September 19. He was under an obligation to leave the territory, which provoked strong reactions, in particular from the far right.
