In a killing that shocked France, body of the girl, named as Louise, was found on Saturday close to her school. She had been missing since leaving school, in the suburban town of Epinay-sur-Orge about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south of Paris, on Friday afternoon.
“The main suspect admitted to the charges against him while in custody,“ public prosecutor Gregoire Dulin said in a statement.
The suspect’s motives remained unclear.
French media described the suspect as a “video game addict.”
The killing comes at a time when law and order, and in particular crime against children, are major issues in French politics and society. Speaking Wednesday, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau expressed “deepest sympathy” to Louise’s family.
“The whole establishment is in shock,“ Education Minister Elisabeth Borne said Tuesday.
A woman, who provided only her first name, Josephine, said she felt “upset all weekend.”
“As soon as I was told about it, I said it’s the little girl with long hair,“ she added.
A psychological support unit has been set up in Epinay-sur-Orge.
