Den 37 år gamle marokkaneren som knivstakk en fransk mor og hennes tre døtre på et feriested i det sørlige Frankrike sist uke, har forklart at det som provoserte ham var at faren klødde seg på innsiden av låret i påsyn av hans egen kone.

Den åtte år gamle datteren ble livstruende skadet. De tre andre fikk alvorlige, men ikke livstruende skader.

Myndighetene mister også kontrollen over hva de sier i strømmen av angrep. Den lokale påtalemyndighet gikk ut og benektet at Mohammed B (37) hadde ropt Allahu Akbar under selve angrepet eller sagt jentene var usømmelig antrukket. Men nå bekrefter påtaleansvarlige at det var “usømmelighet” som var årsaken: Nemlig at mannen i huset hadde klødd seg.

Shortly after the attack, one witness said he had shouted that the woman and girls were “too scantily dressed” but Raphael Balland, the Gap prosecutor, said there was no evidence of this.

However, he added that the man told him he had carried out the violent assault after he had been offended about an “inappropriate gesture”.

“The husband, and father, of the victims, confirms he crossed the suspect while he was leaving the premises after the attack. The suspect allegedly then told him: ‘You shouldn’t have done that in front of my wife’, then scratching the inside of his thigh over his shorts,” said the prosecutor.

“The husband doesn’t remember doing such a gesture,” he said, adding that it was “hard to comprehend that such a gesture could have sparked such a serious attack from a person in full mental health or devoid of any ideological intent”.

Men påtaleansvarlige Raphael Balland bekrefter at mannen hadde ropt Allahu Akbar tre ganger da avhørene begynte. Så ville han ikke si mer.

While he “didn’t say a word” during the attack, according to the victims, during questioning he shouted “Allahu Akbar” three times and then refused to talk.

Så hva er forskjellen? Mister også myndighetene gangsynet?

Mohammed B har vært sykemeldt siden 2009. Han sier han lider av depresjon og schizofreni, men legene kan ikke finne noe tegn på patologisk sykdom.

Mohammed B gikk på medisiner, men sluttet å ta dem for et halvt år siden.

He later told the prosecutor he had suffered from “depression and schizophrenia for several years”. On permanent sick leave since 2009, he said he had stopped taken his medication six months ago.

However, medical and psychiatric experts found “no evidence of any pathology of a psychiatric nature”.

Familien som ble angrepet var fra Nantes og pleide å feriere i Garde-Colombe, nær Laragne. Det spørs om de kommer igjen.
