The investigation progressed 24 hours after the discovery of the body of Teddy, a Toulouse man in his forties, stabbed to death in Blagnac. A second minor was arrested early this Sunday.
The “big guns” of the research and intervention brigade (BRI) arrested a second suspect this Sunday, November 24, in the investigation into Teddy’s death. This Toulouse man in his forties was stabbed at least three times during the night from Friday to Saturday in Blagnac rue des Pâquerettes.
Towards two indictments for murder
There are now two minors, aged 15 and 16, to be questioned as part of this investigation opened by the Toulouse public prosecutor’s office for homicide. The police officers of the division for the fight against organized and specialized crime (DCOS) are convinced of the involvement of the two suspects, unknown to the justice system. “It’s not serious crime, they hang out in the neighborhood, smoke cannabis and consume nitrous oxide,” a source close to the investigation tells us.
Victim collapses in front of cameras
The two minors should be presented to a magistrate in the coming hours, in order to be indicted for murder. The judicial information which will be opened should make it possible to better understand the involvement of each person, and other possible defendants. According to our information, video surveillance made it possible to quickly identify the suspects.
As La Dépêche indicated on Saturday, a brawl was reported in the same place around 2 a.m. near rue des Pâquerettes. “There is an initial fight” confirms the Toulouse prosecutor’s office. Images reportedly show the two suspects chasing the victim, who was found dead a few hours later. These individuals even returned to the alleged “scene of the crime”. Teddy indeed collapsed in front of the video surveillance cameras, did he agonize for several hours before succumbing? It will be up to the medical examiner to determine this.
It remains to understand the motive for this murder in the Barradels district of Blagnac, known to the police to be a deal point. “It’s even written on the walls, there is the price of drugs” lamented Sylvain a neighbor, disillusioned by the nuisance linked to trafficking.
