He should not cause any further casualties immediately. The man suspected of having murdered a homeless man (SDF) in Lyon with a cinder block and several attempted homicides in France and the Netherlands has been indicted and placed in pre-trial detention, indicated, Saturday November 16, 2024, the public prosecutor's office of Évry-Courcouronnes (Essonne) to AFP.

A total incapacity for work of 45 days for the victim

Arrested Tuesday evening at Toulon station (Var), the man was “indicted for attempted assassination” Friday evening for “acts committed in Évry-Courcouronnes on October 23,” detailed Grégoire Dulin, public prosecutor in Évry-Courcouronnes.

That day, a man had been hit in the face on the station squarewhile he was asleep. Seriously injured, he was given total incapacity for work for 45 days.

Arrested three weeks after these events, following the attack on a young woman on board a train traveling in the south of France, the man presented himself as a 32-year-old Cameroonian who was the subject of a obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).

A link between the Évry-Courcouronnes affair and the murder in Lyon

In Lyon, he is suspected of being the author of the murder of a homeless man of Moldovan nationality, whose body was found with a large head wound and a cinder block at his side.

Genetic analyzes have confirmed the links between these facts and those committed in Évry-Courcouronnes.

In addition to this assassination and the attempted homicide in Essonne, investigators are wondering about his role in several attacks carried out with a similar modus operandi in Dijon (Côte-d’Or), Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) and Rotterdam (Netherlands).

If the main suspect is now behind bars, the investigations are far from finished.
