The worker was stabbed to death in the second district of the capital. According to the first elements of the investigation, a disagreement with a customer was at the origin of the tragedy.
A 39-year-old man was indicted for murder and placed in pre-trial detention Monday after the stabbing murder of a locksmith on the night of Friday to Saturday, AFP learned Tuesday from the Paris prosecutor's office. Himself injured in the head, he was prescribed 21 days of total incapacity for work (ITT), said the prosecution.
According to the account of a police source, the dispute broke out around 2 a.m. on the night of Friday to Saturday on rue du Caire, in the center of the capital, between a resident and a locksmith. The cause, according to the first elements of the investigation, is a disagreement over possible overbilling, with the tenant of the accommodation refusing to pay the service.
The two men came to blows, the locksmith striking the tenant in the head with a hammer who then stabbed him in the throat. Despite the arrival of help, the locksmith, aged 30, died from his injuries.
