Overview

• Prosecutors confirmed the suspect’s mise en examen for the killings of all four victims and requested pre-trial detention, while a second man briefly held was released without charges.
• Investigators say evidence ties the suspect to each victim and to the discovery site through on‑scene observations, video footage and phone data, and they are examining a possible anti‑gay motive linked to the area’s cruising reputation.
• Forensic exams found lesions evocative of strangulation on two bodies and a suspicious mark on a third, with additional analyses underway to clarify causes and timing of death.
• The suspect is a young homeless man with uncertain identity and prior minor cases who was previously found with documents belonging to one victim and has declined to address the alleged facts in questioning.
• All four victims have been identified as a 48‑year‑old French resident of Créteil, a 21‑year‑old Algerian resident of Choisy‑le‑Roi, and two homeless men aged 21 (Algerian) and 26 (Tunisian).
