The French national turned himself in at a police station in Italy, several hundred kilometers from the scene of the crime.

French authorities say a man suspected of killing a Muslim worshiper in a mosque in the south of France is still on the run.

Hadzovic, a French national born in Lyon, "surrendered himself" to a police station in Pistoia northwest of Florence on Sunday, Abdelkrim Grini, the prosecutor of the southern French city of Ales, told AFP. He said he was "the perpetrator of the murder of a Muslim worshipper", Italian police said in a statement.
