“He was very agitated and made remarks that were incoherent to say the least,” blows a source close to the investigation.
The 45-year-old man arrested after the double homicide committed Monday morning in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne), was hospitalized on Tuesday.
While in police custody, he explained that he killed Kadia, 50, and her daughter Nabou, 14, "because they cast black magic spells on him".
A first psychiatric examination carried out on Monday initially concluded that there was no trouble in this man under curatorship who had been housing the two victims for several years in his social housing.
The suspect is said to have had a relationship with the mother in the past, but the teenager was not his daughter.
This Tuesday, he underwent a second examination because of his agitation and the comments he made in police custody.
An investigating judge seized on Wednesday
“This second examination showed the immediate need for compulsory hospitalization, confirms the Evry prosecution.
From tomorrow (Wednesday), we will seize an examining magistrate for the opening of a judicial investigation for intentional homicides.
He will be asked to issue a warrant for this man to be immediately handed over to him if he were to leave the hospital.

According to the first elements of the investigation, the suspect first attacked Kadia, the mother of the family, with a knife in the apartment.
