Authorities have only released the first name of the victim


Paris (AFP): France’s conservative interior minister on Wednesday vowed consequences after a Moroccan man suspected of murdering a 19-year-old university student and leaving her body in a Paris forest was arrested in Switzerland.
A source close to the case, speaking to AFP, identified the alleged attacker as a 22-year-old man of Moroccan nationality. Prosecutors have said the suspect had been previously convicted of rape and had been the subject of an order to leave France.
The killing of the student is expected to further inflame political tensions in France where the newly installed right-wing government plans to crack down on immigration.
“This is an abominable crime,” said Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. Retailleau, who took over from his predecessor Gerald Darmanin on Monday, vowed to boost law and order, tighten immigration legislation, and make it easier to deport foreigners convicted of crimes.
“It is up to us, as public leaders, to refuse to accept the inevitable and to develop our legal arsenal, to protect the French,” he added.
“If we have to change the rules, let’s change them.” On Saturday, the body of a student was discovered in the Bois de Boulogne park in western Paris, not far from the Universite Paris-Dauphine she attended.
Authorities have only released the first name of the victim, Philippine. A Moroccan national was arrested on Tuesday in the Swiss canton of Geneva and was identified as a suspect in a murder committed in Paris, a spokeswoman for the Swiss justice ministry told AFP.
“The Federal Office of Justice then ordered detention for extradition purposes on the basis of an arrest request from France,” she added.
