The gendarmes continue their investigations in Bullecourt (Pas-de-Calais) after the murder Monday evening during a check of a tax officer by a second-hand dealer, who then killed himself.
An investigation was opened for counts of assassination and kidnapping, indicated this Tuesday Sylvain Barbier Sainte Marie, prosecutor of the Republic of Arras.
"Early elements appear to be pointing to a premeditated act," he added.
