It was more than a week later, on Sunday April 2, that the young man presented himself again at the hospital in Fougères, before being transferred to the hospital in Rennes. “They saw that my testicle was no longer vascularized and that it was infected. It was necessary to amputate”, he testifies to France Bleu Armorique. The Rennes prosecutor’s office specifies that a “medical-legal examination concerning him is scheduled for Friday, April 7.
