“The cellars are often squatted by young people”
A resident of the building, interviewed by The Parisianexpressed his anger after this murder: “The door [donnant
accès à la cave] does not close […] This is the reason why the hall and the cellars are often squatted by young people who come to party here. We found everything: cigarette butts, leftover joints, nitrous oxide cartridges… We even saw some sleeping on the stairs.”.
