Arrested Tuesday evening at Toulon station (Var), the man was “indicted for attempted assassination” Friday evening for “acts committed in Evry on October 23”, detailed Grégoire Dulin, prosecutor of the Republic in Evry.
“In the coming days, the Evry public prosecutor's office will receive from the public prosecutor's offices concerned all the procedures involving the accused”, which will be referred to the investigating judge in charge of the case in Essonne, added the prosecutor.
Genetic analyzes have confirmed a link between the murder of a homeless man in Lyon on Monday and a similar attempted homicide in Evry on October 23, the Lyon prosecutor's office said on Friday.
The suspect in these two cases was arrested at Toulon station after the attack on a young woman on board a train traveling in the south of France.
He presented himself during his arrest as a 32-year-old Cameroonian subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).
In addition to the murder in Lyon and the attempted homicide in Evry, investigators are wondering about his role in several attacks carried out with a similar modus operandi in Dijon, Strasbourg and Rotterdam.
In Lyon, the body of a homeless man of Moldovan nationality was found Monday morning near the Perrache station with a large wound on his head and a concrete block at his side.
In Evry, a man was hit in the face in front of the Evry-Courcouronnes station on October 23 while he was asleep. Seriously injured, the man was given a total incapacity for work for 45 days.
