He declares a “pathological hatred of foreigners”.
William M, the main suspect in the attack which caused the death of three people from the Kurdish community this Friday, rue d'Enghien, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, admitted while in police custody that he had "hate" for foreigners .
In a press release, the Paris prosecutor's office refers to several statements by the suspect, 69, made during his police custody.
Since a burglary of which he would have been the victim in 2016, he thus declared to have "always wanted to assassinate migrants, foreigners".
He would have first intended to "commit murders on foreign people" in Saint-Denis, where he had gone early in the morning, with his weapon, explains the prosecution.
The suspect's custody was lifted on Saturday evening, due to an incompatibility with his state of health.
He was hospitalized in psychiatry.
