According to our information, a man was arrested after a vandalism committed on April 12 at the church of Sainte-Madeleine in Angers (Maine-et-Loire).
Statues had been decapitated and crosses broken.
The suspected perpetrator was identified after a DNA sample was taken.
According to our information, the suspect, 40-year-old Brahim B., who was already known to the police and the courts, was identified thanks to trace and circumstantial evidence collected in the church, which allowed DNA analysis in the laboratory. He was arrested at his home on Tuesday morning and taken into police custody. He was then forcibly hospitalised as his psychiatric examination revealed that he was incompatible with pre-trial detention. TF1
