Two men, aged 35 and 48, surrendered to police on Friday.
They are suspected of being behind the murder of Jacques, a peaceful 80-year-old retiree who was found slain last Thursday evening at his home in Longjumeau, in Essonne.
"One of the two regularly visited the victim," notes a source close to the case.
The retiree helped him out some money that he used for his drug addiction.
Last Thursday, this man came to Jacques with a friend.
But, for reasons still unexplained, the visit quickly turned into a tragedy.
Without news of his patient despite his repeated calls, the nurse who used to go to the pensioner every day gives the alert.
The firefighters, after going through the French window to the balcony, discover Jacques' body in the middle of a pool of blood.
The death is suspicious: his throat has a wound but no knife is near the body.
Another disturbing detail, the apartment is indeed locked.
One of the suspects known for "thefts"
“A judicial investigation for murder has been opened, confirms the prosecutor of the Republic, Caroline Nisand.
They have both been placed under warrant of committal.
"According to a source close to the investigation, one of the men is known to the courts for" theft "and, in one case in particular, for" theft with violence ".
Friday, the day after the murder, a neighbor of the residence confided: "He did not only have friends but no one here was angry with him to the point of killing him," she said, describing a man weakened by the disease. However, Jacques was suspicious, he did not open his door to just anyone. "
