On Saturday December 21, around 10:30 p.m., a bloody tragedy struck the city center of La Seyne-sur-Mer (Var). A man and his partner, recently settled in this Var commune to run a night grocery store, were shot in the head in their business. According to information from BFM Toulon Var, the two victims, a 29-year-old from Marseillais and his 31-year-old Turkish partner, died on the spot. It was a witness, having heard screams, who alerted the police.
The autopsied bodies
The male victim, well known to the police, had already been convicted of drug trafficking and indicted for criminal conspiracy and weapons offenses. Despite his criminal record, he had just moved to La Seyne-sur-Mer for a new life.
The circumstances of their assassination remain unclear at this time. Several bullets were fired, but the Toulon judicial police have not yet established whether one or more shooters were involved. The autopsies of the bodies, scheduled for the beginning of the week, should provide more details.
An arrest in Toulon
During the night from Saturday to Sunday, a man was arrested in Toulon, in the Beaucaire district. Found in possession of ammunition and trying to get rid of clothes, this individual was placed in police custody.
The investigation, led by the Toulon judicial police and the Interdepartmental Directorate of the Var national police, is still seeking to unravel the reasons for this double assassination.
