The health of the four children injured in the knife attack in Annecy began to improve this Friday and President Emmanuel Macron traveled to the city to honor the bravery of all who intervened during the incident.
The judicial investigation continues and the perpetrator remains in custody, although he has remained silent, according to sources close to the trial.
Meanwhile, the president welcomed the fact that the health of the four injured children was improving.
Among the injured children is a Dutch girl, hospitalized in Geneva, “out of danger”, according to the Dutch foreign minister.
In the morning, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron met with the medical team and the families of the other three injured children, who have been hospitalized in Grenoble.
The presidential couple then traveled to Annecy, first to the hospital and then to the local government, to pay tribute to all who provided “help and support” during the tragedy that shook the Northern Alps city on Thursday.
“You were amazing,” the head of state said at a ceremony expressing “gratitude and pride” to the police, firefighters, health care workers and civilians who tried to stop the aggressor.
“Attacking children is the most barbaric act imaginable,” he said.
“There are things that are indigestible. The violence behind these acts is incomprehensible. We should not get used to it,” Macron stressed.
Since the arrest, Abdalmasih H. has not given an explanation for the acts committed and “the complication of police custody”, namely “by rolling on the ground”, according to a source close to the investigation.
“The investigation continues”, namely “to establish his personality, his background and what he has been doing since he arrived in France”.
