Three days after the murder of a faithful Muslim in the mosque of the small Gardoise commune of the Grand-Combe, Friday, April 25, seventy investigators from the judicial police and the gendarmerie were still mobilized on Monday morning to find the trace of his assassin. And if the track of an anti -Muslim crime is today privileged, several elements emerging from investigations sow the trouble on its deep motivations.
Friday, around 8:30 a.m., Olivier H., a 20 -year -old Bosnian French born in Lyon, enters the Khadija mosque. He comes across the only faithful present at this hour, Aboubakar Cissé, a 23 -year -old Malian whom he does not know. On video surveillance images, we see the two men chatting and then heading for the prayer room. While Abochar Cissé kneeled to pray, the suspect pretends to imitate him before assassinating him with forty stab wounds.
Olivier H. then filmed his victim with his phone, dying on the ground and welcomes his act. “I did it, I did it”he rejoices. He then pronounces a few incomprehensible words, and adds: ” Your allah shitty, your allah shitty ». The place of attack, the victim’s confession and the remarks made to this video published by the Assassin on Snapchat naturally led investigators to favor the hypothesis of an Islamophobic crime.
