Six people are currently being questioned by the Toulouse national police. This Wednesday evening, two men were allegedly tortured for long hours before help arrived.
Two people were kidnapped and tortured this Wednesday evening in Tournefeuille. One of them, burned on the head and suffering from a stab wound, was transported to the hospital emergency room. The national police arrested all the individuals present on site, including the two injured people, who were questioned at the hospital.
The circumstances of the incident remain to be clarified. According to various testimonies, two men aged 20 and 21 appeared early in the evening in a home located in a small recent two-story building. These young men allegedly tried to rob the tenants before being overpowered.

But the two residents of this accommodation would not have been content to stop them. They did not call the police and preferred to resolve the problem on their own. The reaction of the occupants of the accommodation was particularly violent. According to testimonies, the two individuals were tied up. One of the two was burned with hot oil, beaten and stabbed in the legs. The other was severely beaten. Luckily, their lives are not in danger.
The neighbors hear everything
Neighbors, alerted by screams, immediately contacted emergency services. The police intervened shortly after 11 p.m. In total, six people are currently being questioned, including the two injured.
Why did the “victims” torture the two thieves? Did they want to know who sent them? Mystery for the moment.
At this stage of the investigations, the police are exploring all hypotheses, but a dispute linked to drug trafficking seems very likely. You will have to wait until the end of police custody to find out more.
