A man was indicted and imprisoned on Wednesday evening for the murder of a 38-year-old man on Monday in Moriani-Plage (Haute-Corse), the Bastia prosecutor told AFP, specifying that he
“denies the facts"
.
“This man, not particularly known to the authorities, was indicted for intentional homicide and placed in pre-trial detention
,” said Jean-Philippe Navarre, the Bastia public prosecutor, without providing further details.
He is a thirty-year-old foreigner in an irregular situation who is not a priori known for any offenses, a source close to the case told AFP.
Monday morning, the emergency services intervened in Moriani
"at the request of a person who had noticed that his neighbor was injured at the entrance to his home"
, the prosecutor indicated. The emergency services had treated this person with a
“throat wound likely to correspond to the use of a firearm”
but, despite the care provided, this 38-year-old man had died, added the prosecutor. An investigation into intentional homicide was entrusted to the Ghisonaccia gendarmerie brigade and the research section of the Haute-Corse gendarmerie to establish the circumstances of these facts.
