On March 31, two elderly people, the priest Pierre Panon and a companion, were stoned to death in the village of Xertigny in northeastern France.
Pierre Panon was born in Strasbourg in 1948 and ordained a priest in the Diocese of Nancy in 1974. He served in several parishes and held the position of vicar general (2012-2018).
The attack took place in a small side street away from the village center. Both victims were found lying on the ground. Bloodstained stones were lying nearby.
A source close to the investigation described the attack to French media as "very violent."
A male suspect, described as being in his thirties and "completely unknown" to the local population, was arrested shortly after the incident.
In the usual trivialization, the perpetrator was transferred from police custody to a psychiatric facility.
