A few meters from a nursery school

The altercation took place around 12:30 p.m., rue Papu. The victim's body was covered with a white sheet in the middle of the street, in this quiet neighborhood, in front of a boarding house of the “Habitat et Humanisme” network and some 50 meters from a nursery school.

Police officers walk the street, blocked off to traffic, looking for the murder weapon. A representative of the public prosecutor's office is on site.
