This 38-year-old man has been sleeping in prison for three days. He is suspected of having violently attacked an elderly woman a few days earlier in La Garenne-Colombes.
On July 16, in the morning, this 90-year-old Garennoise returns from the market with her wheeled trolley. It is almost 12:30 p.m. when this young man approaches him and, very politely, offers him help to get into his building. The kindness stops as soon as the threshold is crossed and the intruder drops the mask. He clasps a hand to his victim’s face, stopping him from screaming, then knocks him to the ground, kicking him in the hip. He then snatches her jewelry, two gold bracelets adorned with precious stones, and flees.
A witness to the scene rushes to the old lady to help her and warns the emergency services. Shocked, sore from abrasions and hematomas, the nonagenarian, who had had her neck fractured in the past, was taken to hospital. Appraisal: six days of ITT.
He denies in custody
For their part, investigators from the La Garenne-Colombes police station are questioning the neighborhood and are working to examine the CCTV images of La Garenne and Courbevoie, which they dissect. They see the fugitive and manage to retrace his journey which leads him to a vehicle parked a little further. Which leads the investigators to Ermont (Val-d’Oise). When the police arrive at the targeted address in Val-d’Oise, the woman who opens the door can’t do much for them. The man they’re looking for no longer lives here. The investigators then decide to look for him where he lived, in the Quatre-Chemins district in Colombes, where the vehicle initially spotted in La Garenne-Colombes will be found.
It is finally him, warned that the police are on his heels, who presents himself voluntarily to the police station of La Garenne-Colombes on July 21, shortly after 11 am. In police custody, he plays the carp and gives only a few unconvincing explanations about his car that he would have lent to a relative. Be that as it may, in his version, he had nothing to do with the attack on a nonagenarian. For the investigators, the elements at their disposal seem on the contrary overwhelming. The man was finally referred to the Nanterre prosecutor’s office two days later, just a week after the attack. He was indicted for “aggravated robbery” and remanded in custody.
