Paul Domis, an unemployed 22-year-old young man, went late Saturday afternoon to the gendarmerie in Ghyvelde, a town where he lived with his parents.
He admitted to having successively killed on the same day a business manager in Wormhout, then two private security agents and finally two migrants of Iranian nationality near Dunkirk.
“The qualification of assassination was retained by the prosecution for the first three acts committed (…) and the qualification of murder preceded, accompanied or followed by another crime, was retained by the prosecution for the last two murders “, declared Dunkirk prosecutor Charlotte Huet during a press conference.
There are still “many questions” about his motive and “no definitive conclusion can be drawn at this time,” she warned.
But “the first person who was killed in Wormhout was the last employer of the accused”: this 29-year-old business manager, shot dead in front of his home, “had dismissed the accused at the beginning of the month of October,” added the prosecutor.
Likewise, Paul Domis had “worked six months for the company which employed the security agents who were killed” then in Loon-Plage, in a port area near Dunkirk, she continued.
The young man did not mention a “particular dispute” with these two victims aged 33 and 37, but a resentment “focused more on the management” of their company, said the prosecutor.
“The motive still needs to be investigated” regarding the last two murders of migrants from Iranian Kurdistan, who were aged 20 and 28, according to Ms. Huet.
The toll could have been even heavier: at the time of these last two murders, the alleged shooter “pointed and directed his weapon” towards two other people who were passing by by car, the prosecutor stressed.
Paul Domis faces life imprisonment.
