Anti-Muslim attack at the mosque of La Grand-Combe, in the Gard: the troubled profile of the alleged murderer

Olivier Hadzovic went to a police station in Tuscany on Sunday night, after three days on the run. He is accused of killing Aboubakar Cissé, a faithful Muslim, on Friday at the mosque of La Grand-Combe, in the Gard.

The investigation is directed towards the religious motive, but possible complementary motivations are studied by the investigators.

The killer of Abubakar Cissé told the investigators "to have killed the first person he found" on his way.

While the left denounces Bruno Retailleau's double standards, the far right denounces a "recovery of drama".

After three days of cavalry, Olivier A. went to a police station near Florence, Italy. If the hypothesis of an anti-Muslim act is preferred, the investigators also consider other avenues of work. The suspect in fact expressed on social networks, before his passage to the act, but also after, his intention to kill, without specifying the religion of his victims.

Sociologist Vincent Geisser reacts for "Liberation" to the premeditated murder of a Muslim in the Gard, Friday 25 April. The researcher calls for a sacred union of policies against all forms of racism.
