Brawl, settling of scores, fight with alcohol as a backdrop? The circumstances of the tragedy that took place on the night of Saturday to Sunday near a bar in the Juan-les-Pins district of Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes), remain unclear. Around 5am, near the Cristal, rue Édouard Baudoin, a young man in his twenties was stabbed multiple times. Hit mainly in the chest, he did not survive despite the care provided on site by the firefighters and the Smur. He was declared dead at 5:40am.
Shortly after, in the same area, another individual was discovered dying in the street, also wounded by a knife. Aged 28, he was taken into care in a state of absolute emergency, with several wounds, particularly to the throat. Two suspects, originally from Marseille according to a police source, were quickly identified and arrested by the police. They are two brothers with a questionable profile. They were taken into custody at the Antibes police station.
Indictment
After 48 hours of hearings and without it being known whether they admitted to being the perpetrators of the acts, they were both brought before the courts with a view to their indictment for “voluntary homicide” and “attempted homicide”. They should, in all likelihood, be placed in provisional detention pending their trial. Contacted, the Grasse prosecutor’s office has not responded to our requests at this stage. Another police source specifies that this would not be a “drug case”. “The method has nothing to do with those that can be used by drug traffickers »the source comments. Investigations are continuing to shed light on this affair. They have been entrusted to the Antibes Urban Security.
