The shadow of a settling of scores seems to be emerging concerning this double assassination committed on August 25 in the Montrapon district, in Besançon. On this hot summer afternoon, a hooded shooter armed with a machine gun sowed death on rue de l'Épitaphe.

Upon arriving at the scene, the police discovered a bloodbath with two victims lying on the roadway. Fayçal Hakkar and Saibi Hatem, aged 24 and 30, were targeted for execution. According to our information, investigators from the Organized and Specialized Crime Division (DCOS) have identified a man suspected of being the author of this killing.

A bullet in the head with a “touching tip”

They spoke of this figure, dressed in black, arriving on a scooter shortly after 3 p.m. They saw him, while children were nearby, brandishing a gun in the middle of the park before opening fire. This cold and determined killer did not hesitate to pursue his victims.

Saibi Hatem was hit by three munitions. “A first projectile passed through the left arm, a second through the lower back and a third entered through the top of the thorax to end up in his brain, causing his death,” confided Christine de Curraize at the end of August. . Faisal Hakkar received five warheads. “A wound on the hip, one in the thorax perforating the lung and three others on the base of the skull. »

Sordid detail revealed by the magistrate during a press conference: one of the shots was carried out at “touch point”. Finally, Fayçal Hakkar's little brother was also targeted while he was in his car. “The bullet stopped in the foam of the seat. It’s a miracle,” confided a source close to the matter.
