The tenant of the apartment and main suspect of this crime claims to have acted in self-defense. “The facts seem to be part of a context of settling of accounts between traffickers of narcotics“, specifies the parquet floor of Bordeaux. “This is why the opening of information will also target the count of attempted murder against X knowing that a priori, other people could be involved in the acts perpetrated against the main indicted, himself gunshot wound“.
