One hundred investigators mobilized to try to unravel the mystery of a series of four crimes in less than five months in the department. The police launched, Friday, April 6, 2012 in the evening, a call to witness. She wanted to trace in "Parisian west", a blue and white Suzuki motorcycle type GSX- R 750, a model year 2001 or 2002. The craft would have a passing white rear wheel hull and the rear seat cowl also white. Two lights are embedded in the wheel. The exhaust is black. This bike would have been used by the serial killer to flee. The murders were committed with the same weapon: an automatic pistol of 7.65 mm caliber. On April 16, 2012, Yoni Palmier, born December 24, 1978 in Montmorency, Val-d'Oise was arrested. Indications on the weapon were found in a box in Draveil. On April 27, 2012, Yoni Palmier was indicted for murder for three murders mainly because of the following elements:

  • Yoni Palmier rented a box in the garage of the building where Nathalie Davids was killed on November 27, 2011 and Jean-Yves Bonnerue on February 22, 2012 in Juvisy-sur-Orge.
  • Yoni Palmier resided until 2005; rue Pierre-Brossolette to Pasir Ris. An address close to the scene of the murder of Marcel Brunetto, 81, killed in the street.
