The alleged murderer is a 16 -year -old French minor. On the run, he is the subject of a red notice from Interpol, learned AFP on Friday, making him the only minor in the world referenced by these notices which indicate the “dangerous” character of the person on the run.
Several stabs
The victim, killed of “multiple stabs” in the thorax on Saturday evening, on the sidelines of the celebrations of the European coronation of the Paris SG football club, had a “preexisting litigation” with the alleged author, reproaching him in particular the theft of his cap several days earlier, according to the prosecutor of Dax, Benoît Fontaine.
On Tuesday, the magistrate explained to continue the investigation under the qualification of assassination, “the anteriority of a conflict between the author and the victim that can suggest a premeditated gesture”.
The facts occurred Saturday around 11 p.m. near the Place de la Fontaine-Chaude, in the center of Dax, where several hundred people came to follow the final of the PSG-Inter Milan Champions League broadcast by several bars, without a fan zone.
The adolescent was stabbed in “an adjacent street of the square”, little frequented, according to the prosecution, before succumbing to his hospital injuries around 01 hours 15 Sunday.
