A victim, who was allegedly stabbed a young Marian at a mosque in southern France, was arrested after surrendering to police in Italy, prosecutors said Monday.
The killing of Aboubakar Cisse in a village in the French province on Friday caused a shock, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to say there is no place for religious hatred in French society, while Prime Minister Francois Bayrou condemned the crime of “Islamophobia”.
The suspect was a French national born in Lyon in 2004 and was only appointed Olivier A.
He had run away for three days after the murder.
Grini, who is in charge of the case, said: “As a prosecutor, this is very satisfying for me.
“Faced with the effectiveness of the measures already taken, the suspect has no choice but to hand himself over to himself – the best thing he can do.”
On Friday, after initially praying with Malian, a young Malian in his twenties, the suspect stabbed dozens of times before filming a cell phone while yelling insults to Islam.
When time they were alone in the mosque, Cisse’s body was found only when worshippers began attending Friday prayers later that morning.
The attack in the village of La Grand-Combe in the Gade region is the latest in a series of fatal stabbings in France in recent years.
France is home to the largest Muslim community in the EU.
Prosecutors said suspects who will transfer the suspect to France will issue a European arrest warrant, adding that it may take “days or weeks.”
Prosecutors said more than 70 French police have been mobilized to “locate and arrest” the perpetrators since Friday, which is considered “potentially extremely dangerous.”
– ‘I did’ –
“After boasting about his actions and after actually claiming to be responsible for it, Grini said on Sunday, he commented that he intends to do similar actions again.”
After the crime, the suspect congratulated on the video, saying “I did it” and insulted Allah.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau congratulated all those involved after the suspect surrendered on Monday.
“The magistrates and investigators have shown excellent determination and professionalism, which has enabled them to achieve results in a very short period of time,” he said on X.
The murder made Retailleau a hard right-wing right, under pressure to stand strong on immigration.
When he met Grini on the weekend in Ayles, he obviously did not visit the killing scene in Big Cambay, Los Angeles.
The suspect from a Bosnian family and unemployed live in La Grande-Combe, Los Angeles.
“He was a man who had been living in the justice system and the police and had not been in the news until these tragic events,” Grini said.
In Los Angeles, the Big Mby, more than 1,000 people gathered on Sunday to celebrate the victims. They marched from the Khadidja mosque where the stabbing occurred to the town hall.
Abdallah Zekri, principal of the Nime Mosque, condemned the climate of Islamophobia and said he was “angry and hatred for those who committed the crime”.
Hundreds also gathered in Paris on Sunday, including the left-wing firepower Jean-Luc Melenchon, who accused Retailleau of fostering the “Islamic terror climate.”
President Emmanuel Macron expressed “national support” to the victim’s families and “our fellow Muslims.”
“Racism and hatred based on religion will never have a place in France,” he said on X on Sunday.
Retailleau has ordered police to strengthen security in mosques across the country.
