Caption: The not criminally responsible (verdict) for the killer of Sarah Halimi had caused a wave of indignation in 2021.

He was being held in a psychiatric hospital in Val-de-Marne and benefited from furloughs. But the killer of Sarah Halimi is again in trouble with the authorities. According to TF1, he was arrested and placed in custody for armed robbery and kidnapping. The incident goes back to January 27: A man of about 40 was the victim of a home invasion in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris. The occupant was first sprayed with tear gas, then beaten and kicked before being dragged through every part of his apartment while the perpetrators ransacked the place.

The victim was then tied to a chair, gagged, and burned with a cigarette. Numerous objects of value were stolen, including watches and jewels. The loss is estimated at almost 100,000 euros, say our colleagues.

“Acute psychotic episode”

On Wednesday, investigators arrested 4 suspects, already known to police and the courts. Among them: Kobili Traoré, now 36, (who) had been judged not criminally responsible for the murder of Sarah Halimi. On the night of April 4, 2017, he penetrated into the residence of the 65-year-old Jewish woman before beating her, then throwing her from her balcony in the 11th Arrondissement of Paris. All while crying, “Allahu akhbar” and calling Sarah Halimi a “sheitan“-devil in Arabic.

The killer was ultimately judged not criminally responsible in 2019. The Court of Cassation confirmed this decision in April 2021, saying that his judgment was “abolished” at the time of the crime. Kobili Traoré had been suffering from an “acute psychotic episode”, induced by his heavy use of cannabis-he smoked about 15 joints a day.
