The policeman suspected of having killed his companion at the end of January in Paris was indicted on Thursday February 24 for “intentional homicide by spouse, partner or partner”, learned franceinfo from a judicial source. He was remanded in custody.

Arnaud B., a 29-year-old peacekeeper assigned to Blanc-Mesnil (Seine-Saint-Denis), had been wanted since January 28, the day of the discovery in his apartment in the 19th arrondissement of Paris of the body of his companion, Amanda Glain, 28, died of strangulation, an autopsy revealed. The body of the young woman had been found in the bathroom of the suspect by Parisian police officers. His colleagues had given the alert, not seeing him when he took office.

After a three-week run, Arnaud B. had called the gendarmerie on Tuesday to report his presence at his father’s house in Montmeyan (Var). He was arrested at this home without resistance and “without incident”, in the words of Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. Then, on Tuesday, the suspect was transferred to Paris, where he was heard by investigators from the 2nd district of the Paris judicial police, responsible for the investigation.
