The other suspect was in the 35-year-old’s house during the arrest, the agency reported on Saturday in reference to judicial circles.

Finally, on Saturday night, another person was arrested in connection with the attack. A 29-year-old Tunisian citizen was arrested on Saturday afternoon in the southern French city of Grasse, according to judicial circles.

A 47-year-old man was found Thursday.

In the attack, the sacristan and two women were killed by an attacker from Tunisia. The 21-year-old entered the EU illegally in September with other migrants via the Italian island of Lampedusa.

It is said that he appeared shortly before the attack in Nice. After the crime, the police seriously injured him and he is now in a hospital.

Investigations are also ongoing in Tunisia. Security forces arrested a man on Saturday who had confessed to the knife attack in Nice on behalf of a previously unknown group.
