“A man was detained by Chambery’s investigative unit in connection with the murder of the Al Healy family and Sylvain Molier on January 12, 2022 at 8:05 a.m. (local), referred to as the ‘Chevalin Case’,” statement said.
According to the statement, the arrest was made to verify the suspect’s schedule.
According to CNN affiliate BFMTV, the unidentified man, who was staying with his accomplice, was arrested on the orders of the investigating judge assigned to the case. He has already been heard as a witness in this case.
His house was also searched on Wednesday morning.
This is not the first time that the investigation team has taken someone into custody. None of the previous arrests made a breakthrough or a charge.
According to BFMTV, last September, a crime reconstruction was conducted in the village of Chevlin in the presence of several witnesses. Investigators were trying to trace the killer’s path and the timing of his actions.
The reasons for the attack remain a mystery.
