Very quickly, a security perimeter was established, both on the French and Belgian sides, with the border bridge blocked. A large audience, especially on the French side, gathered on the shore. It was the French firefighters who were responsible for recovering the body.
According to the newspaper La Voix du Nord and French police sources, the body recovered would be that of the murderer, a 19-year-old Houplinois, unfavorably known to the police and justice for acts of narcotics, theft, assault or burglary. He was under a European arrest warrant and actively sought on each side of the border, especially since the weapon had not been found at the scene of the crime.
At 6:20 p.m., the border bridge was returned to traffic and the police force was largely lifted.
