Al-Marsad Newspaper: “Le Parisien” daily mentioned some of the confessions made by the policeman, Florian, who is accused of killing the 17-year-old teenager, Nael, on June 27.
The beginning of the incident
He said that he went out with his colleague from the security center at eight in the morning, then he heard the sound of a Mercedes car driving on the road reserved for buses, and he, accompanied by his colleague on a motorcycle, approached the driver of the car (who is Nael) and asked him to stop immediately to conduct a traffic inspection.
And he continued: The young man, Nael, did not comply with the policeman’s orders, but rather left the place, removing the car at a great speed, estimated at about 80 to 100 kilometers per hour, and we were able to catch up with the car, which stopped due to traffic congestion at the level of Nelson Mandela Square in the city of Nanterre, then he ran towards the driver and took out his gun and pointed it at Nael on The level of the windshield of the car. “According to “Agence France Presse”.
He pointed out that he raised his weapon in the face of the young man and stationed in a place that allowed him to hit the lower parts of his body, noting that he called on Nael Murar to “stop the engine of the car and that he even hit the windshield of the car in order to attract his attention” to no avail.
The policeman continued, saying, “His colleague tried to enter the car in order to arrest the driver or to stop the car’s engine. But he felt that the car was moving sometimes forward and sometimes backward.”
He added that “he was in danger because he was between the car and a back wall,” explaining that the danger was greater for his colleague because half of his body was inside the car. For this reason, he shot Nael, fearing that he would speed away in his car and “drag” the policeman with him.
His colleague denies
In the same context, Florian, the policeman’s colleague, who killed Nael, said that “he did not sneak into the car, and that Nael stopped the car engine after only 15 seconds and put his hands on the steering wheel.”
This policeman also refused to say whether his colleague killed Nael intentionally or not because, according to what he told the investigators, “my interest was focused on the young Nael only.”
