On 7 February, Owen L was playing popular battle royale game Fortnite when he lost a game, insulted another player and stormed out of his home.
CCTV also showed Louise crossing the road near her home at 1:58pm before a man in a black jacket with his hood up, later identified as Owen L, is seen following her.
11-year-old Louise Lasalle’s body was found one day after she was lured into the woods and stabbed to death by gaming fanatic Owen L, 23, in Épinay-Sur-Orge, Paris, on 7 February.
“He was very angry after an argument with another gamer,” said prosecutor Gregoire Dulin, who also said that Owen L was known to throw tantrums when losing video games.
Unemployed Owen L, who has confessed to the killing, lived with a well-off family but had a police record for petty crime and was reported to the police by his sister for allegedly beating her.
