“Nonsense”
Around 11 p.m. Monday, the missing woman's family told investigators they received a text message from an acquaintance indicating the young woman's companion had done “something stupid.”
At the end of his police custody that began on Tuesday, the suspect was brought before an investigating judge and charged with “voluntary manslaughter,” the judicial source said.
He was then remanded in custody by a liberties and detention judge (JLD), “in accordance with the prosecutor's requisitions”, the same source added.
The man is of Nigerian nationality, a police source said. He worked in catering during the Olympic Games and could not explain the reasons for his action, according to the daily “Le Parisien”.
