Overview

• Court-ordered psychiatric and psychological assessments report no disorder that would abolish or alter discernment and describe a major social danger with psychopathic and perverse traits.
• Experts deem his statements about hearing voices and memory loss manipulative and point to deliberate actions after the killing, including fleeing to Switzerland, using the victim’s bank card, and taking steps to avoid detection.
• During a December 2024 interrogation, he acknowledged killing the 19-year-old student but said he could not recall the circumstances, according to the case file reporting.
• He remains incarcerated under formal investigation for murder accompanied by rape in recidivism and theft in recidivism after his arrest in Geneva and extradition to France.
• The case intensifies scrutiny of prior decisions following his 2021 rape conviction and June 2024 release under an unenforced expulsion order, with the victim’s mother calling the handling a “grave dysfonctionnement.”
