The public prosecutor of Paris gave a press conference to return to the escape and hunt for Mohamed Amra for nine months. We learn that the one who was the most sought after fugitive in France had already attempted an escape a few days before achieving it.
Mohamed Amra had already tried to escape from the Evreux prison. He finally succeeded, on May 14, in the Incarville toll, during a transfer, killing two and several injured. According to Laure Beccuau, the public prosecutor of Paris, at a press conference two weeks after the arrest of the fugitive, Mohamed Amra was not at his first attempted escape. “As soon as he arrived at the Evreux remand center, Mohamed Amra intended to escape,” she explains. He first planned to “saw the bars of his cell, to hide the fact that he had done this escape operation by buying removable gates”.
But it was finally on May 7, a week before his escape, that Mohamed Amra had tried to escape. “Mohamed Amra also had a second escape project by means which are ultimately very similar to what ended up being this deadly attack,” said the prosecutor.
An escape avoided thanks to citizen reports
Mohamed Amra was transferred to the Evreux judicial court and had planned to escape. “This project could have been aborted not by the fact that it was given up or that its stucks did not feel able to do so, but (…) by the fact that a certain number of witnesses identified the grouping at one hour advanced from the night of three vehicles inside which people were people whose dress seemed to be most suspicious,” explains Laure Beccuau. People aboard these vehicles finally managed to flee, but, as the investigations, it seems that these three vehicles can be brought closer to the three vehicles that were used during the attack that was perpetrated in the Incarville toll.
