An important device has been in place since Sunday to try to find an armed individual and considered as “dangerous“by the Prosecutor’s Office of Draguignan, after his alleged implication in the death of a young woman Sunday morning at Plan-de-la-Tour. The body of the victim was found by a newspaper delivery man a little before 6 am this Sunday. The investigation opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Draguignan was entrusted to the Research Section of the Marseilles gendarmerie supported by the gendarmes of the Gassin research brigade.
“The victim’s body was discovered between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. on the ground in front of the portrait of the residence in which she occupied an apartment.“specifies this Monday at the end of the morning the Public prosecutor’s office of Draguignan. The young woman was shot. Very quickly, the investigators manage to visualize the images of the video-protection cameras of the condominium. These images coupled with the operation of the mobile phone of the victim allow investigators to identify a suspected suspect, “a man with whom the victim had or had had a short relationship“specifies the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The wanted individual is a resident of Gréolières. The GIGN gendarmes then went to the property of the respondent on Sunday. “And he did not hesitate to open fire on a gendarme who presented himself to him, in his capacity as a member of the police. The alleged perpetrator then fled, still armed.“specifies Guy Bouchet, the Deputy Prosecutor.
The searches continued all night and are still in progress this Monday noon in Gréolières in a “perimeter delimited and well controlled by the forces of the national gendarmerie“concludes the prosecution.
