The enigma of the disappearance of MG, 34, father of a ten-year-old child, not found since February 7, was solved on Wednesday evening when firefighters and police officers from the criminal brigade, with infinite precaution , exhumed a corpse in a cellar at 66 rue de France in Nice.
His or her killers had taken the precaution of hide his corpse in “a concrete sarcophagus”, according to the expression of Xavier Bonhomme, public prosecutor of Nice. A cellar located behind the L’Atrium bar.
During the search, six people including the manager of the bar, Abdelkrim K., known as “Akim”, were taken into custody. Two of them were indicted on Friday for “murder and crime scene modification”.
It is still too early to know the exact circumstances of this violent death. An autopsy is to be performed in the coming days.
According to our information, an argument degenerated into a tragic brawl. The bar manager then panicked and tried to get rid of his victim’s body.
Traces de sang
The investigators of the Departmental Security, in particular the criminal investigation technicians, found numerous traces of blood in the establishment.
They had been working on this case since February 15. Their investigations led them irremediably towards L’Atrium, this very popular PMU bar.
From a bundle of clues, a judicial investigation was opened on May 6 for “kidnapping, forcible confinement followed by death”. On Wednesday, six people were arrested and taken into custody.
“The manager of L’Atrium admitted to being the author of the murder, specifying that he acted alone, both for the homicide and for the concealment of the body and the cleaning of the premises”, says Xavier Bonhomme. A second individual, however, admitted to beating the victim and witnessing the murder.
The investigating judge decided to indict the two men for murder and modification of the crime scene. The prosecution requested that the suspects be remanded in custody.
The judge of freedoms and detention followed the requisitions on Friday evening and the alleged attackers of MG were taken to prison.
