Suspect in Paris student murder to be extradited to France on Wednesday

Raw Story  

A 22-year-old man suspected of murdering a Paris university student will be extradited to France from Switzerland on Wednesday, a source close to the case told AFP on Monday. On Monday, he was heard again by authorities in the canton of Geneva, and confirmed his consent to being handed over to France under a simplified extradition procedure, according to the Paris prosecutor's office. President Emmanuel Macron has called Philippine's murder “a heinous and atrocious crime”, saying that “we need to protect the public better”. Following a summer parliamentary election in which the far right performed strongly, several French politicians seized on the killing, demanding a crackdown on illegal immigration.
