Overview

• In Poitiers, 25‑year‑old Inès Micellem died after multiple stab wounds and prosecutors opened an assassination investigation with her ex‑partner, born in 1989, actively sought.
• The victim had filed multiple complaints over the summer and was issued a téléphone grave danger; the IGPN launched an administrative review after police detained but did not hold the suspect on September 6.
• In Antibes, an 18‑year‑old former pupil was arrested after stabbing a 52‑year‑old teacher and a 16‑year‑old student inside the Lycée Vert d’Azur; both victims were hospitalized with no life‑threatening injuries.
• The Antibes suspect is in garde à vue on counts including armed intrusion into a school and attempted assassination, as investigators place his girlfriend and a 17‑year‑old contact in custody for checks on possible encouragement or complicity.
• Authorities are examining the Antibes suspect’s prior psychiatric hospitalizations, a 2024 case involving incarceration for apologie de crimes and a foiled mass‑killing project, and materials pointing to far‑right or neo‑Nazi influences.
