He said it himself this Tuesday at the end of the afternoon, in the court of Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis).
He is "unforgivable" and "ready to go to jail".
At least, the driver, who decimated a family in the night from Saturday to Sunday, in Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), did not seek excuses before the judge of freedoms and detention.
He recognized everything.
Unsurprisingly, as the prosecution had requested, this 26-year-old was remanded in custody.
Responsible for the death of a mother and her son and the serious injuries inflicted on the daughter and the father, this inhabitant of Roissy-en-Brie (Seine-et-Marne) had been referred a little earlier for manslaughter, unintentional injuries, refusal to comply, hit and run and driving while under the influence of alcohol.
He was coming back from a barbecue
This Saturday, shortly before 1 am, after a barbecue with friends, he drives at the wheel of the Mercedes Viano belonging to his mother.
The evening was watered.
It will also be controlled with a rate of 0.86 mg / l.
The night is not over for him.
He is about to join other acquaintances.
The police spotted his vehicle, which sped too fast in Champigny (Val-de-Marne).
They try to stop him.
The chase lasts several minutes until the exit of the A 86, in Aulnay-sous-Bois.
The driver runs a red light at the crossroads of Human Rights.
At the wheel of his C3, Mehdi, a 39-year-old father from Aulnay-sous-Bois, goes green.
Under the violence of the shock, the Citroën is almost cut in two.
Sabrina, the 38-year-old mother, and their three-year-old boy are killed instantly.
Yasmine, the 7-year-old girl, was this Monday between life and death.
Mehdi should be fine, despite several traumas.
He is still hospitalized too.
"It's impossible to hear it for now," sighs a source close to the investigation.
The whole family was very appreciated in Aulnay.
Only one person escaped this tragedy unscathed.
He's the driver.
The young man tries to escape on foot but is quickly caught by the police.
On the crossroads, it's horror.
Witnesses hug the children.
Police officers give heart massages to the victims.
The scene is so appalling that a psychological cell will be opened.
"My client can only accept the judge's decision"
At first, the driver says that he was not the driver.
But he is quickly confused by investigators.
He ends up confessing.
Why did he run away when he saw the police?
"Because he knew he was drunk," said a source familiar with the matter.
The young man, without a criminal record, was known to the police officers of Pontault-Combault (Seine-et-Marne) in particular for refusing to comply, driving while intoxicated and using narcotics.
A judge of the court of Meaux had, moreover, issued a sheet prohibiting him to leave the territory within the framework of a judicial control relating to a case of theft dating from more than five years ago.
"It is rather someone inserted and sympathetic, specifies one of his close relations. He was the manager of a restaurant and worked at Paris-le Bourget airport. He is devastated by what he has done. "" There are no words, reacts his lawyer, Me Noémie Saidi-Cottier. What happened is terrible. My client can only understand and accept the judge's decision. "
