The investigation into the murder of a 61-year-old French national of Reunion Island origin found dead on the road near the Manarapenitra hospital in Morafeno Toamasina, on the morning of August 19, is ongoing. As a reminder, the victim was an operator in the export of tropical products. That morning, the victim was savagely murdered. His body had several injuries and his killer slit his throat with a sharp object. According to information from the police, this man had just been drinking in a bar in the aforementioned district when this heinous act was committed by his executioners while he was on his way to a hotel located in the locality. Having been notified of this case, the criminal investigation section of the national police in Toamasina opened its investigation. This led to the arrest of an 18-year-old woman at her home in Morafeno Toamasina, on August 25. Two days later, on August 27, a second suspect, a 22-year-old man, was also arrested, still in Toamasina. According to police investigations, this individual is a repeat criminal. He was already involved in another murder and had already been incarcerated at the central prison of Ambalatavoahagy, Toamasina. Two people have already been arrested in this case, but there are currently all kinds of intervention maneuvers weighing on the police concerning these arrests already made. We are then waiting for the development of this case.
