But the sponsor claimed to be “dissatisfied” with the work of his young recruit, found on social networks, because he would not have killed the right target. He would also have failed to comply with the instructions given to him, namely to burn his target’s car after his murder. Arrested at the address given by the mastermind of the crime, the teenager was placed in police custody for “assassination by an organized gang”.
Teenager claims accidental shooting
Sunday October 6, the Marseille prosecutor, Nicolas Bessone, indicated during a press conference attended by “La Provence” that, seeing that the teenager was armed with a 357 Magnum pistol, Nessim Ramdane had refused to lead the 14-year-old hitman to his target. A refusal for which he paid with his life. The 14-year-old admitted to the homicide, but claimed an accidental shooting while he was threatening the thirty-year-old.
This very young shooter, who had been placed by social services since he was 9 years old, was known to the justice system for reasons that are still unknown. But both of his parents are currently incarcerated for drug trafficking. Presented before the investigating judge this Sunday morning, he should be placed in a closed educational center, his young age not allowing incarceration.
He hires hitmen from his cell
The man who recruited him before handing him over was transferred from his cell to an isolation unit at the Marseille police station. This is Hacene L., 23 years old, known as an author, but also a victim in drug cases and kidnapping in the Paris region. He was currently in pre-trial detention in Aix Luynes for having, during a previous stay in Les Beaumettes, set up an assassination project and hired an 18-year-old hitman to murder a man from the northern districts of Marseille with a Kalashnikov. However, investigators suspect that he is not really part of the DZ mafia.
At a press conference, the Marseille prosecutor, Nicolas Bessone, assured that the first 15-year-old victim had herself been recruited via social networks by Hacene L. from his cell to shoot in the door of a rival and set on fire the apartment. But the young man on a mission had been surprised in the stairwell, searched, disarmed, stabbed “with around fifty knife wounds” before being burned alive. The Aix-Luynes inmate would then have recruited, still from his cell and via social networks, a new teenager to avenge the death of the first by an assassination which was to be paid €50,000.
