A 30-year-old who surrendered to the police on Thursday after seriously injuring his mother with a stab in the throat has been indicted for “attempted murder,” we learned Monday from the public prosecutor’s office in Lille.
“The person concerned has admitted the facts which were motivated by personal and religious reasons,” the prosecutor, Carole Etienne, questioned on the presumed motivations of the passage to the act, clarified to AFP.
Asked by AFP about a possible radicalization of the respondent, she indicated Thursday that “unknown to the police and justice services,” he had “converted to Islam a few years ago.”
Placed in pre-trial detention
The 32-year-old man, brought to the prosecution on Saturday, was remanded in custody. He had fled after the attack committed on the night of Wednesday to Thursday at his parents’ home in Wattrelos, before reporting to the police station in Tourcoing.
The 66-year-old mother had been stabbed “with a knife in the throat” and hospitalized, said Carole Etienne.
According to a source close to the investigation, the suspect lives in Roubaix, which is part, like Wattrelos, of the European metropolis of Lille.
His father, present during the attack, gave the alert, according to the same source.
