In the case of the Orthodox priest wounded by bullets, in Lyon, on October 31, the suspect arrested on Friday was presented to the public prosecutor's office on Sunday for the opening of a judicial investigation for attempted murder.
The Public Prosecutor requests his indictment and his detention.
The man, Georgi P., a 40-year-old father, said he didn't want to kill the priest but hurt him because of his relationship with his wife.
He told investigators where he got rid of his sawn-off shotgun by throwing it into the Saône.
The custody of his wife has been lifted.
