Two weeks after the murder of a 37-year-old man, a young man from Nice was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention for “intentional homicide”, said the prosecutor's office in Grasse, to France Bleu.
The man who knew he was wanted by the police went on his own to the Antibes police station.
He was presented at the beginning of the week to a judge of the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Grasse.
He has since been incarcerated.
