Suspect in murder of Tunisian man to appear before French judge

A Frenchman accused of murdering his Tunisian neighbor in the south of France will appear before an anti-terrorism judge on Thursday, the national anti-terror prosecutor's office said.

Christophe B. is accused of killing Hichem Miraoui in an attack Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau described as both "racist" and "anti-Muslim". Anti-terrorism prosecutors have taken over the case, the first time a far-right racist attack has been treated as a "terrorist" offence since the unit was created in 2019.
