The investigation is progressing after the discovery at the end of last week of the lifeless body of Armelle, known as Deo, in a freezer in Grigny (Essonne). A 47-year-old man of Algerian origin was indicted for murder by concubine. Presented as his companion, he was placed in provisional detention pending a contradictory debate, reports this Monday the prosecutor's office of Evry to AFP. A man whose mother of three children aged 44 wanted "a priori" to separate, confirms the town hall.
The autopsy revealed two shotgun impacts on the victim's body, one in the head and the other in the chest. At the time of his arrest on Friday, the main suspect was in possession of a handgun and had scratches on his face as well as blood stains on his legs. Employed at the Château-Rouge 91 butcher's shop, in the Grande Borne district, he worked alongside his brother, owner of the business, with whom he lived. It was in his apartment above the shop that the body was found.
Phone calls after the murder
Also according to AFP, a woman, friend of the main suspect was also indicted for concealment of a corpse, alteration of a crime scene and attack on the integrity of a corpse. The 38-year-old had telephone conversations with the respondent after the murder.
