KARIM OUALI

Blood dramas

An episode from the series CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

Synopsis

On April 27, 2011, Jean Meyer, 34, head of the control tower at a local airport, is struck several times with an axe. He suffers numerous wounds to the abdomen, chest, neck, and shoulder.

On the premises, investigators quickly rounded up the suspects. Indeed, access to the area is strictly restricted; only a handful of agents with badges and unique keys are allowed in.

Barely an hour after the tragedy, 35-year-old Karim Ouali, a trainee air traffic controller, is designated as the prime suspect. At his home, the police discover a note bearing his handwriting: "What happened at the airport was inevitable".

But why would Karim so brutally murder his superior?
