Two suspects in the killing of Jeremy Cohen the 14th, a 31-year-old Jew wearing a kippah, who was run over to death on February 16 by a streetcar in the town of Bovini in the suburbs of Paris, turned themselves in to the town police today (Wednesday).

According to state media reports, the identities of the two, who were immediately placed in custody, have not yet been released.
The two are facing an indictment of manslaughter.
The affair that agitated France arose following a video revealed by Cohen’s family about a week ago, in which a group of Muslims is seen harassing Jeremy Cohen. He was severely beaten, fell to the ground, but managed to get up. A few seconds later, while trying to escape the attackers, he ran onto the nearby road – just as a tram that hit him was passing by.
Due to the severity of the injury, he was fatally wounded, was rushed to a hospital and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Cohen’s two brothers, who suspected that this was not an accidental trampling incident but a nationalist attack, toured the scene and managed to obtain the video documenting the harassment of the brother – and the trampling.
According to a report on Radio Shalom, Cohen’s brothers obtained the video after handing out leaflets throughout the area, and asked eyewitnesses to the event to contact them and provide them with videos or any other information in their possession.
Arab tenants who live opposite the scene of the attack and photographed everything, revealed the videos to his family.
Following the efforts of the Cohen family, the French legal system decided to reopen the case at the end of March.
