The mother, aged 37, was indicted for “intentional violence” on “vulnerable person“, to get “slapped the victim“, Matisse, 16 years old, indicated in a press release the public prosecutor in Bourges, Céline Visiedo.
The minor and his mother are both of Afghan nationality and legally resident on French soil, according to the magistrate.
Matisse and the suspect “knew each other and had insulted each other before” the fatal brawl that occurred on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. near the Saint-Denis district, in Châteauroux, a peaceful town of some 43,000 inhabitants, according to the magistrate.
According to the suspect, during this confrontation, Matisse punched him. “Taken by anger”, the suspect would have returned home to take “a knife blade” and would have attacked “several stab wounds to the victim before fleeing“, according to the same Source.
The victim died due to “several puncture wounds“, including one having “reaches directly to the heart“, she clarified. “The minor’s mother, who was following him, in turn slapped the victim“.
The suspect, who had no convictions on his criminal record, had just been indicted on April 22 for “robbery with violence in a meeting” by the investigating judge of Châteauroux. He was placed under judicial supervision as part of this procedure.
The brawl had “nothing to do with Islamism, there is no religious character“, assured a Source close to the investigation interviewed by AFP.
