Suspected of having stabbed a 16-year-old high school student in his school in Chelles in Seine-et-Marne on April 22, a 19-year-old man, arrested Thursday in Noisiel, was taken into custody. The suspect, with several entries in his criminal record, was indicted for “attempted murder”.
A 19-year-old man was indicted for “attempted murder”, suspected of having stabbed a 16-year-old high school student on the grounds of a school in Chelles, Seine-et-Marne, the Meaux prosecutor told AFP on Wednesday. Presented to an investigating judge on Tuesday evening, he was also indicted for “intrusion into a school establishment” and “aggravated violence”, having also injured a member of the establishment’s staff who was trying to intervene, a specified Laureline Peyrefitte, the public prosecutor. He was remanded in custody, she added.
Arrested in a completely different matter
On April 22, the day before the school holidays, a student attending the Louis-Lumière vocational school in this suburban Parisian town had been punched and then stabbed, “at the level of the back and the side”, according to the elements of the prosecution. His life was in danger when the emergency services intervened around 10:30 a.m. The victim was quickly transferred to the hospital and underwent surgery, allowing his condition to be stabilized. The facts had occurred on the floors of the building during the morning break, according to the prosecution. The alleged perpetrator is outside the establishment.
He was arrested Thursday in Noisiel, a neighboring town, in connection with a completely different case. The young man, who has several entries in his criminal record, was arrested at the wheel of a stolen vehicle, as part of an investigation in flagrance by the prosecution for concealment of vehicle theft. Heard in police custody for these facts, he was imprisoned pending his immediate appearance on Wednesday. At the same time, the investigations carried out by an examining magistrate concerning the attack on Chelles led him to be taken out of his cell and again auditioned on Monday, this time on this case in which he is now being prosecuted.
