The 69-year-old Frenchman who allegedly killed three Kurds last Friday in Paris was remanded in custody after being charged today.
The suspect, a retired train driver, admitted to harboring a “pathological hatred of foreigners”. He is charged with homicide and attempted homicide because of the victim’s race, ethnicity or religion, as well as illegal possession of a firearm, a judicial source said.
The suspect killed one woman, Emine Kara, an executive of a Kurdish women’s organization, as well as two men, including the artist and political refugee Mir Perver. He also injured three men, one of them seriously. The five victims had Turkish citizenship and the sixth French.

At the scene of the attack, protesters placed photos of the victims, flowers and lit candles. He marched to another street in the same district where, on January 9, 2013, three members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party were murdered. This case has not been clarified until today.
Those gathered chanted in Kurdish slogans such as “Our martyrs do not die” and, in French, “Women, life, freedom”, while demanding “truth and justice”.
