The man was arrested in the Paris region. A 28-year-old suspect was indicted and imprisoned on Monday for the murder of a man, stabbed in the center of Rennes last week, the prosecution announced.
This suspect was arrested on Saturday at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport “where he was going to take a flight to Mayotte”, said the Rennes public prosecutor, Frédéric Teillet, in a press release.
A 49-year-old man was fatally stabbed on Tuesday November 12 during a “violent altercation” using a kitchen knife, a police source told AFP. The attacker had fled.
The autopsy “confirmed that the death was due to a blow with a bladed weapon to the victim's back”, specifies Mr. Teillet.
Placed in police custody and repatriated to Rennes, the suspect admitted before the investigating judge “to having had a dispute with the victim linked to drug trafficking, and to having stabbed him, but without intending to kill him. »
His criminal record includes four mentions, including two convictions for drug offenses.
He was indicted for murder by the investigating judge and then placed in pre-trial detention, in accordance with the prosecutor's orders.
