The possibility of reprisals is still being considered in the case of the fire, which occurred on the night of January 4 to 5, 2025, in the Saint-Nicolas district, in Laval (Mayenne). In a three-story building, an apartment on 2e had been devastated by the flames.
What immediately directs the investigation towards this hypothesis of a voluntary rather than accidental act is the identity of the woman who lived there. The tenant is the mother of one of the suspects in the Bourny murder case. His son has been imprisoned since mid-December, indicted for the assassination of Anass Frijy, 30, on the night of November 23 to 24, 2024 and for attempted assassination of the deceased's twin brother. There are two of them incarcerated for this murder.
“The investigation continues in preliminary stages”
The mother, aged 38, had informed the authorities, in the week preceding the fire, of her fears for her safety. She had also left the neighborhood for several days when the fire broke out.
-According to our information, an expert determined that the fire started at the front door of the accommodation. He allegedly discovered traces of flammable liquid. Analyzes are underway to confirm this lead.
Contacted, Anne-Lyse Jarthon, the public prosecutor of Laval “confirms that an expertise has been carried out”. On the other hand, she adds: “No report has yet been submitted by the expert. The investigation continues preliminary. »
