Concerning the bloody raid during which five people were killed on Saturday December 14 in Dunkirk (North), the custody of the suspect, Paul Domis, 22, made it possible to clarify how the events unfolded. On his motivations, however, the questions remain unanswered. An abyss of perplexity for investigators. “This criminal journey raises questions. We are all trying to find explanations for these destabilizing facts. They are quite rare, both by their nature and by the number of victims,” recognizes Charlotte Huet, the Dunkirk prosecutor, during a press conference on Tuesday. The toll could have been heavier: a father and his son who were driving near the migrant camp at Loon-Plage, on the edge of the Dunkirk port area where two Iranian Kurdish exiles were shot dead, were targeted by the young man. He didn’t shoot. They escaped with fear.

Shortly after, Paul Domis presented himself at the gendarmerie in Ghyvelde, the small town not far from where this young unemployed man lived with his parents. Calmly, he entered to announce that he had just killed five people. He was interviewed four times by investigators from the judicial police during his custody. In his vehicle, parked in front of the gendarmerie, five weapons were seized. Registered in a shooting club in Leffrinckoucke, a town neighboring Dunkirk, he also had a dozen others discovered during the search of his home.
