“Brawl and violence”
During their detention, “they acknowledged their participation in the facts” . The investigation will have to “verify the role of each, but also the intention of killing” . According to investigations, the two young people were first consumed alcohol and were then made to the fifties. “One of them knew. The evening degenerated into brawling and violence. All that remains to be clarified ” , said the prosecutor. An autopsy must be performed later this week to determine the causes of death.
The survey also covers a second case, made the same day, but later in the night: the kidnapping of a seventy year old, living a few blocks away. Found alive, the second victim, too, was tied up in their home. “The motive was more utility. They stole his credit card and his car keys, before stealing the vehicle. ”
