A 15-year-old teenager and his 37-year-old mother are presented to a judge on Monday After the stabbing murder of a teenager on Saturday evening in Châteauroux, at a time when the debate on the violence of part of the youth is heating up. its full.
In police custody since Saturday evening, the 15-year-old minor and his mother “will both be presented before an investigating judge from the criminal division” for “voluntary homicide”, announced the public prosecutor in Châteauroux, Agnès Auboin, in a press release sent Monday afternoon.
The brawl, which occurred on Saturday around 6:00 p.m. on the public highway of Châteauroux, a peaceful town of some 43,000 inhabitants, led to the death of the teenager a few hours later in hospital.
If the young person is suspected of being involved in the stabbing death of Matisse, also aged 15, his mother, aged 37 and with no criminal record, is suspected of “being involved in acts of violence” , according to the prosecutor.
The fact that the minor is of “Afghan origin” according to a close Source who did not give further details on his nationality, has led several figures from the right and the extreme right to denounce the “migratory policy” of the government.
“The context of the facts is not clearly established to date,” insists Ms. Auboin. However, according to a Source close to the investigation interviewed by AFP, this “has nothing to do with Islamism, there is no religious character”.
“The French want a penal revolution and a real immigration law,” said the president of the LR senators, Bruno Retailleau.
The various right-wing mayor of the town, Gil Avérous, told the press that “this family is legally in our territory” and was subject to “social monitoring”.
“The parents (of the victim, editor’s note) do not want there to be political recovery, that we talk about the RN or immigration because that does not resemble them”, he also reported to the ‘AFP.
The brawl occurred in the “Saint-Denis district, it is a classic residential district. There are a few blocks of buildings, but it is not a district which is classified as a priority policy”, underlined the mayor of the city during a press conference, who lives there himself.
On Monday, residents and relatives placed white roses at the street corner where Matisse was taken care of by the emergency services, and flowers were placed in front of the victim’s father’s restaurant, noted a correspondent from the AFP.
– “Ultraviolence” of young people –
The mayor was also moved by the fact that the minor suspect had been arrested “twice” in recent weeks, “and a few days later, the same young person found himself in the street with a knife.”
The teenager, who has “never been convicted by the courts”, was the subject of two criminal proceedings, including one for acts of aggravated theft with violence, the prosecutor said on Sunday.
He had been indicted “for acts of a criminal nature” and placed under judicial supervision by an investigating judge on April 22, “the only security measure provided for by the code of Criminal Justice for minors given his age, without conviction anterior”.
“The investigation to date has not established a link with the criminal procedure which gave rise to the placement under judicial supervision and the facts of Saturday’s homicide,” underlined the prosecutor.
“The two protagonists, perpetrator and victim, are 15 years old. This is for me proof of the wildness, of the ultraviolence that our society is experiencing among minors,” said Mr. Avérous.
Matisse’s death comes after several incidents of violence between young people, such as the fatal beating of 15-year-old Shemseddine in Viry-Châtillon.
After calling for “general mobilization”, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal began his consultations with political groups on Monday around his proposals intended to stem the violence of part of the youth.
