A trial in Algeria over the murder of French mountaineer Herve Gourdel by jihadists in 2014 was postponed Thursday due to the prime suspect’s ill health, judicial sources said. Abdelmalek Hamzaoui, an alleged jihadist, had arrived at court for the opening hearing of the trial in a wheelchair, and according to a doctor who accompanied him, he is asthmatic and had undergone hip surgery. “Given the state of health of the main defendant Hamzaoui, the court decided to postpone the case to February 18,” said the presiding judge of the court in Dar El Beida, a suburb of Algiers.
The slain hiker’s partner Francoise Grandclaude, who travelled to Algeria for the trial, said she was “very, very disappointed” by the delay, but respected the Algerian judiciary’s decision. “We put a lot of hope in the Algerian justice system… that justice will be rendered after seven years of a very, very long wait,” she told AFP.
