The car and weapon belonging to the wanted and runway police officer who is the prime suspect in the femicide in Paris France, which is a case still under investigation, have been discovered by authorities, BFMTV reports.
According to the French news network, the car and weapon belonging to the policeman who has been placed on the wanted list since January 28th 2022, were found in Amiens.
The car, the administrative weapon and the ammunition of the fugitive policeman suspected of femicide in Paris France were found in Amiens, learned this Wednesday BFMTV from a police source, confirming information from RTL . However, the man is still nowhere to be found.
According to the report, the Paris police headquarters issued a call for witnesses on Thursday to find the policeman on the run, suspected of femicide in Paris France.
On January 28, his partner was found dead at the couple’s home. Her husband, who fled and has still not been found, had already been convicted of acts of domestic violence in the past, for which he had completed an awareness course.
“Arnaud B. is a policeman. He is in possession of his service weapon and a black commando type backpack”, details the prefecture in its press release. “He is traveling in a white Peugeot 208 vehicle, in poor general condition, registered DQ-759-HN”, the Police statement reads.
BFMtv also reported that the suspected home was visited by his superiors when the news broke out, and where they found the lifeless body of a young woman. They then find that their colleague has left with his car and his company weapon. A point that made feminist associations and authorities react: already convicted of domestic violence, was the policeman entitled to keep his weapon?
“It is up to the hierarchy, if it finds a fact like this in the personal life of a police officer or a gendarme, to withdraw the administrative weapon if it deems it necessary”, recalled Gérald Darmanin last week on BFMTV.
An investigation was opened by the IGPN to try to clarify this point and detect possible negligence on the part of the official’s hierarchy.
Gérald Darmanin affirmed on BFMTV that significant means were implemented to find the suspect. “Many police and gendarmerie operations are being carried out at this very moment,” said the Minister of the Interior.
