The suspect, whom prosecutors named to AFP as Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, lived with his parents in the Essonne area, south of Paris. French media reported that when he was arrested in 2016, he had been a 19-year-old biology student and was accused of planning a violent attack in the business district, La Défense, west of Paris, which he failed to carry out. He was subsequently sentenced in 2018.
French media reported that his parents, of Iranian origin, were not Muslim. He was believed to have converted and been radicalised online.
