The information to remember
William M., suspected of having killed three Kurds on Friday in Paris, will be presented to an examining magistrate on Monday for an indictment.
The racist motive of these murders is confirmed: this 69-year-old French retiree told investigators that he felt a "hatred of foreigners that had become completely pathological" since the burglary of his home in 2016. Arrested at the scene of the attack, in the Xe arrondissement of Paris, William M. was immediately placed in police custody on Friday.
However, this was lifted on Saturday for health reasons.
"Before committing suicide, I always wanted to murder migrants, foreigners, since this burglary," he said during the hearing.
A white march in tribute to the three victims of the racist attack in front of a Kurdish cultural center in the capital is organized on Monday.
The procession will leave at noon from 16 rue d'Enghien in Paris, the site of the shooting.
He will head to 147 rue La Fayette, where three Kurdish militants had been killed ten years earlier.
