Two days after the discovery of the body of a 21-year-old young woman in an apartment in the 18th arrondissement, the suspect was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention this Thursday, August 15.

She was 21 years old and an employee of the Stade de France. On the night of Monday 12 to Tuesday 13 August, a young woman was found dead in a home in the 18th arrondissement. Near her body, a 48-year-old man was in a semi-comatose state after having swallowed alcohol and medication. He was immediately taken into custody. This Thursday, August 15, he was finally indicted and placed in pretrial detention, the prosecutor's office told BFMTV.

The victim gave French lessons to the main suspect

According to information from our colleagues, the young victim, a resident of the 18th arrondissement of the capital, initially presented as a volunteer during the Olympic Games, was in reality an employee of the Stade de France as an intern in charge of communications.

At the same time, the 21-year-old woman was a model for luxury brands and gave French lessons to the main suspect, aged 48 and of Nigerian nationality. She had also been helping him with administrative procedures for about two years.
