NIMES, France, April 28, 2025 (AFP) - The man suspected of stabbing a Muslim to death in a mosque in southern France has given himself up at a police station in Italy, a French prosecutor announced Monday.

"This is very satisfying for me as a prosecutor. Faced with the effectiveness of the measures put in place, the suspect had no option but to hand himself in -- and that is the best thing he could have done," said Abdelkrim Grini, the prosecutor of the southern city of Ales, who is in charge of the case.
