There is no longer any doubt. The man suspected of having killed a homeless man with a concrete block on Monday in Lyon is indeed the one who tried, at the end of October, to kill a homeless man in the same way in Évry, the prosecutor's office said on Friday.
“The genetic analyzes carried out as part of the investigation opened by the Lyon prosecutor's office into the murder charge made it possible to establish a connection with the facts before the Evry prosecutor's office,” he said. The latter specified that he would “relinquish responsibility in the coming days for this investigation to the benefit of the Evry public prosecutor’s office in the interest of good administration of justice”.
The suspect arrested in Var on Tuesday evening
The suspect in these two cases was arrested Tuesday evening at Toulon station (Var) after the attack on a young woman on board a train traveling in the south of France. He presented himself during his arrest as a 32-year-old Cameroonian subject to an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).
In addition to the murder in Lyon and the attempted homicide in Evry, investigators are wondering about his role in several attacks carried out with a similar modus operandi in Dijon, Strasbourg and Rotterdam.
In Lyon, the body of a homeless man of Moldovan nationality was found Monday morning near the Perrache station with a large wound on his head and a concrete block at his side. In Evry, a man was hit in the face in front of the Evry-Courcouronnes station on October 23 while he was asleep. Seriously injured, the victim was given total incapacity for work for 45 days.
An investigating judge was appointed after this attack and the suspect must be presented to him on Friday. The Evry public prosecutor's office requested his indictment for attempted murder and his placement in pre-trial detention. Public prosecutor Grégoire Dulin said he was considering bringing together all the French investigations targeting him.
