A prepared horse?
The drama occurred in a "context of separation of the couple".
The mother was absent at the time.
The man then fled.
His escape seems to have been "prepared", since he had made "a large withdrawal of nearly 3000 euros on the morning of the facts", underlined Commissioner Lacassin.
He then took a train to Aix-la-Chapelle, spent a night in a Sikh temple in Belgium, before being located in the Bobigny temple.
According to the first elements of the investigation "he had no ties in France", explained Mr. Lacassin, who underlined the "good coordination" between the police and judicial authorities, Belgian, German and French, which led to this arrest.
Imprisoned in Fresnes since his arrest, he must be handed over to the German authorities in the coming days.
