Strasbourg - (AFP) - A 29-year-old Tunisian man suspected of killing a 32-year-old woman, who was arrested in Mulhouse (eastern France) in mid-December, will be handed over to the Italian judiciary within ten days, his defense attorney said Thursday.
Lawyer Dominique Bergmann told AFP after a session at the Colmar Court of Appeal that the man, who has been detained since his arrest under a European warrant, "accepted the idea of returning to Italy."
The lawyer indicated that the man "will be transferred to the Italian region of Modena within ten days as a maximum."
On November 18, the body of Alice Neri (32 years old) was found inside the trunk of a charred car in the Fossa neighborhood of the Concordia sulla Siccia region in the Modena province (northern Italy).
A spokesman for the Special Judicial Police in the Eastern Region indicated in mid-December that the suspect "is one of the victim's acquaintances."
The man was not questioned about the charge against him during the hearing that took place Thursday before the Colmar Court of Appeal.
