Specialized judicial police now lead a murder inquiry ordered by prosecutors.

Overview

  • The confrontation, which unfolded Sunday night in the Zénith de Pau parking lot, left a 20-year-old with chest stab wounds who died hours later at the hospital.
  • Two women went to the Pau police station around 2:30 a.m., a man followed later, and all three aged 23 to 28 remain in garde à vue for questioning through Tuesday.
  • Prosecutors opened a murder case and ordered an autopsy, and specialized judicial police known as the SIPJ/DCOS took charge of the investigation.
