French mosque murder suspect arrested in Italy
Briefly

Olivier A, a French national, has surrendered after being pursued for a stabbing that left Aboubakar Cisse dead. Prosecutor Abdelkrim Grini stated that the suspect was considered extremely dangerous, having previously boasted about his actions and shown intent for further violence. Following community outrage, a silent march was held in memory of Cisse, and reactions ensued regarding the cultural tension in France, with President Macron condemning racism and urging support for the victim's family.
This is very satisfying for me as a prosecutor. Faced with the effectiveness of the measures put in place, the suspect had no option but to hand himself in.
After boasting about his act, after practically claiming responsibility for it, he made comments that would suggest he intended to commit similar acts again.
Racism and hatred based on religion will never have a place in France. I express the nation's support to the victim's family.
The silent march in La Grande Combe reflected the community's solidarity and grief over the tragic stabbing of Aboubakar Cisse.
