Aged 14, the main suspect in the murder of a teenage girl on Friday in Ivry-sur-Seine, was arrested a few hours later at his mother's home, in Essonne.
According to his lawyer, his criminal record is clean and he has no criminal record.
The 14-year-old teenager, suspected of having fatally stabbed Marjorie, 17, on Friday with a stab wound in the chest in Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), was indicted on Sunday for "murder", indicated his lawyer Adrien Gabeaud.
Arrested at his mother's home in Massy (Essonne) on Friday evening, the young man will be presented Sunday evening to a judge of freedoms and detention with a view to his possible placement in pre-trial detention.
"Vehement exchanges" on social networks
The facts took place at the foot of a building in the city of Pierre-et-Marie-Curie in Ivry-sur-Seine, near Paris, after "vehement exchanges" on social networks and in particular on Snapchat, according to the first elements of the investigation.
According to testimonies collected on Friday, the suspect "had created a Snapchat group that very morning" about the teenager's little sister.
"Marjorie did not appreciate that bad talk about her little sister. She came to the bottom of the tower," where the suspect's father lives, and "hit" the young man.
The teenager would then have gone back home to grab a knife, with which he would have hit Marjorie in the chest.
Born in November 2006, the suspect had a clean criminal record and no criminal record, according to his lawyer specifying that he had emerged free from a free hearing in a building degradation case. The investigation was entrusted to the judicial police of Val-de-Marne.
