In the investigation into this attack, carried out by the national anti-terrorism prosecution, "there are no longer any police custody in progress," said this source.
These two cousins of the assailant had been arrested on Saturday and Sunday.
The father of Jamel Gorchene, as well as a couple who had administratively domiciled the author of the attack, had also been placed in police custody before being released, Tuesday for the first, Sunday for the couple.
A "little questionable" radicalization
Jamel Gorchene, a 36-year-old Tunisian national with a residence permit, fatally stabbed a police officer, Stéphanie Monfeture, in the throat in the entrance to the Rambouillet police station early Friday afternoon.
He was killed by gunfire from a police officer.
This delivery driver had no criminal record and was unknown to the intelligence and justice services.
But its modus operandi corresponds to recurring calls from the Islamic State (IS) group to attack the police.
According to the national anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-François Ricard, the author, whose radicalization was "hardly questionable", presented "certain personality disorders".
Investigators found pornographic images in his cellphone involving transsexuals and minors, we learned on Tuesday from a source close to the investigation.
