The suspected police officer has been on the run since that date. “He is in possession of his service weapon and a black commando type backpack. He is traveling in a white Peugeot 208 vehicle, in poor general condition, registered DQ-759-HN”, specifies the Prefecture of Police.
The man could have left the capital, or even Île-de-France. The PP’s call for witnesses is accompanied by a photo of the suspect and his vehicle.
Anyone who discovers the armed individual must not intervene and notify the police immediately.
A judicial inquiry has been opened, and the case is now in the hands of an investigating judge. Anyone likely to provide information relevant to the investigation can contact the General Staff of the Judicial Police of Paris at the following toll-free number 0800 00 27 08 (7 days a week, 24 hours a day) or by email at the following address: [email protected]
Why so much waiting?
The call for witnesses comes almost two weeks after the feminicide. In the Penal Code, there is no legal obligation to initiate this type of procedure. This decision is ordered by the Paris prosecutor’s office and constitutes the exception.
According to information from the Parisian, this wait was motivated by “an investigative strategy”, the track favored by the investigators being that of the suicide of the fleeing police officer.
