A 43-year-old Algerian man was arrested on Monday November 11 at around 7pm by the Service interdépartemental de sécurisation des transports en commun (SISTC). He is suspected of having vandalised the stele in honour of the victims of the attack at Saint-Charles station in Marseille, as Valeurs actuelles learned from a police source. As he is in France illegally, he is already known to the police.
He was taken into police custody and has admitted to the offences. He hates France,’ a police source told Valeurs actuelles. At Franceinfo’s request, the Marseille public prosecutor’s office announced the opening of an investigation into ‘intentional damage to property by arson and theft’.
The stele honouring the victims of the attack on the Saint-Charles train station in Marseille was vandalised on the morning of 11 November, a day of remembrance. The main memorial plaque was stolen. The French flag was scratched and part of the plinth was burnt.
The attack that murdered the two girls occurred on October 1, 2017. The suspect was Ahmed Hamachi, from Tunisia. He was arrested the day of the murders for shoplifting but was released. He had a dozen arrests in total. Mauranne was studying medicine-Laura was a nursing student. One of the victims was stabbed in the stomach-the other had her throat cut. Hanachi was killed by soldiers patrolling the area. Who knows what these two promising young women could have accomplished had they not been murdered. Had the French government deported this “person” sometime during his crime spree. I am beyond sick and angry as a parent, a grandparent and a former police officer. Sadly, many more will suffer and be murdered before anyone gets their act together and begins deporting these people or putting them in prison for life.
