According to our information, the suspect, Brahim B., 40, already known unfavorably to the police and justice services, was identified thanks to traces and clues taken in the church, which allowed a DNA analysis in laboratory. He was arrested Tuesday morning at his home and taken into custody. He was subsequently hospitalized, his psychiatric examination having revealed an incompatibility with police custody.
The damage had been discovered by the priest on his way back from lunch on April 12. “What is striking is to see that the statues have been decapitated. But we can imagine the violence that must have been behind it and we would like to know that it was the motivation of such a person to do such a thing when entering a church, a place of worship. For us, it’s not just stones, they are symbols of our faith,” lamented Father Magloire Djaba Tossou in the TF1 report at the head of this article.
