PARIS — Judicial officials have filed preliminary murder charges against a 35-year-old man over the shooting death of a trade union leader during recent unrest in Guadeloupe.
Police say four other suspects face preliminary charges for criminal association and violence against police in connection with the Feb. 17 killing of Jacques Bino on the French Caribbean island.
France's BFM TV showed state prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre saying in Guadeloupe that the suspected triggerman faced charges of murder and attempted murder.
A police official in Paris said Sunday bullets of the same caliber as those that killed Bino were found in the suspect's home. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The suspect was not identified.
