According to their first statements taken in police custody, the four minors identified by the police "
do not dispute the facts
", the prosecution said in a statement.
They will be heard again on Friday "in
order to determine the involvement of each and to understand their motives
" as part of the series of threatening tags which targeted two colleges of Bouscat, near Bordeaux, a few days after the beheading of the teacher Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
On November 10, the Bordeaux public prosecutor's office had opened an investigation for "
death threat in writing
" after the discovery on a fence closing the Sainte-Anne college, a private Catholic establishment, of these words drawn in paint: "
You are all dead
".
The tag had been erased, but five days later on November 15, a new inscription of 1.60 m long by 1.60 m wide had reappeared on the wall of the same college, with the same threats made - "You are all dead" - sprayed with silver spray.
Then the next day, other inscriptions had been found, this time inside the Jean-Moulin-du-Bouscat college on a perimeter wall.
Made using a silver-gray bomb similar to the one used the day before at the Collège Sainte-Anne, the inscriptions "
you are dead, you are dead, Samuel Paty (...) ALLAH AKBAR
" had led the floor to open a new investigation for "
death threats in writing, apology for terrorism and willful degradation
" entrusted to the departmental direction of public security in Bordeaux.
