The man was known to everyone in his six-story residence. In fact, he had lived there for more than forty years and was the president of the union council. The shock will be even greater when his neighbors learn that the main suspect is none other than his 81-year-old neighbor.
A “kind gentleman” and benevolent
According to a source close to the investigation, the body of the octogenarian was found Tuesday morning in the underground parking lot of the residence. One of his neighbors confided that “he had to go and pick up his wife by car who was at the podiatrist, that’s why he went down to his cubicle”. He goes on to explain: “But he never came. She called him several times. She came back here on foot, she was the one who found him.” A young neighbor intervened to say that “everyone is in shock”. She added that “he was a nice gentleman, we knew him because he is president of the co-ownership council. He gave us the summons.”
The suspect admitted the facts in police custody
The same source confirms that it was his 81-year-old neighbor who was arrested and taken into custody after the police found him with a 7.65 mm caliber firearm and a holster. The investigation showed that the suspect had known the victim for 40 years and had been a next-door neighbor for just as many years. A neighbor will explain that “Robert (the victim, Editor’s note) was very present for him since the death of his wife, about three months ago. He helped him in particular with doing taxes, that kind of thing.” Neighbors said the alleged killer was neither violent nor aggressive.
The Nice prosecutor’s office referred the suspect as part of the opening of a judicial investigation into the murder charge. If the 81-year-old man admitted to being the killer, at the time of writing this article, his motivations or the circumstances of the tragedy are not yet known.
