Lyon priest attack may be an act of personal vendetta: : Reports

Paris, Nov 7 (UNI) French law enforcement officers have detained the suspect in the attack on a Greek Orthodox priest in the city of Lyon last week, local media reported on Saturday.
As per a report by the 'Le Parisien', the suspect, who holds the citizenship of Georgia, was detained on Friday and has confessed to have opened fire at the priest.
The suspect's wife, who is a Russian national, was also detained, said the newspaper.
The newspaper report suggested that the attack on the priest may not be an act of religious fanaticism but that of personal Vendetta.
The suspect, a 40-year-old man, said that he shot the priest in an act of revenge, as he thought that his wife could have been the priest's mistress. The man added that he did not intend to kill him.
On October 31, a 52-year-old priest, Nikolaos Kakavelaki, was shot at and injured in the city's 7th district near a Greek church. The gunman fled the scene of the shooting. Prosecutors subsequently opened a criminal case into the attempted murder.
The shooting took place as France is experiencing national dismay in the wake of an increasing Islamic threat following the brutal murder of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a radicalized teenager in mid-October.
