The two men suspected of having participated in the shooting of October 16, 2024 in a parking lot in Bétheny (Marnes) will therefore remain in pre-trial detention, by decision of the investigating chamber. The latter rejected their request for release, this Thursday, November 7, 2024, indicates The Union .
The first is indicted for attempted murder. “He has already dealt with this family in the past, the brother of one of the victims stabbed him. Today, he doesn’t want to know anything about these people.”argued his lawyer during the hearing, as reported by our colleagues.
Several elements to support
The second defendant, owner of the car from which the shots came, also denies any involvement. Indicted for attempted murder, the 25-year-old man, already known to the courts, is suspected of having been behind the wheel that day. Through his lawyer, he claims that his vehicle was stolen from him, without him having time to file a complaint. The investigating judge nevertheless has several elements against him, in particular the boundaries of the telephones and the weapons found at the home of one of the accused.
As a reminder, the facts for which they are indicted took place on October 16 in a parking lot in Bétheny, in the Reims metropolitan area. The two men are suspected of having opened fire on a vehicle in which two men were present. The reason for this “ambush”in the words of prosecutor François Schneider, remains unknown for the time being. Unharmed after the shooting, the victims formally recognized their attackers.
