A psychiatric report found the 47-year-old accused to have ” decreased responsibility “, but he ” remains criminally responsible for his acts “, the prosecutor’s office stressed.
The man suspected of planting a homemade explosive device in Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Toulouse on Friday was charged and detained on Saturday. There were no casualties in the incident and the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office was not called in.
The 47-year-old man “was charged and remanded in custody for violence with intent not resulting in permanent disability”, the Toulouse prosecutor’s office stressed, recalling that the suspect already had a criminal record. “In particular, he had been convicted of threatening people armed with a weapon, which did not sentence him to life imprisonment,” he explained.
According to a source familiar with the case, the suspected man was also involved in a case about a suspicious package in a Toulouse metro station on March 23. […]Le Dauphiné
