The man suspected of having killed Ginette Naime, nearly twenty-five years ago in the west of Var, was indicted this Thursday and placed in pre-trial detention, announced the Nanterre prosecutor’s office, headquarters of the pole National Serial or Unsolved Crimes (PCSNE).
This individual, now aged 61, is unfavorably known to the police and the justice system. In particular, he was able to be identified by witnesses – interviewed again in the last two years – to whom photographic plates were presented.
The suspect was arrested this Tuesday by police officers from the central office for the repression of violence against people (OCRVP) and placed in police custody at the police headquarters in Toulon. According to our information, he was transferred to the Paris region by plane this Wednesday evening.
The thesis of a crime of opportunity
The Nanterre public prosecutor’s office has opened a judicial investigation for “extortion with a weapon” and “murder preceded, accompanied or followed by another crime”. The sixty-year-old was indicted on these charges and was placed in pre-trial detention.
It’s a real twist since this cold case was the subject of two dismissals in Toulon in 2008 and then in 2016.”The investigations were mainly focused on the personal and professional environment of the victim.“, indicates the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office.
The resumption of investigations particularly favored “leads from individuals with no apparent connection to the victim, potentially motivated by greed.”
