investigation opened for “kidnapping and sequestration followed by death” after the death of a 20-year-old boy, found on the side of the road

After the death of a 20-year-old young man abandoned by his attackers on the side of the road at the beginning of December in Danjoutin (Territoire de Belfort), the investigation was reclassified. This is now a judicial investigation opened for “kidnapping and sequestration followed by death”, reports France Bleu Belfort-Montbéliard and the Belfort public prosecutor’s office to franceinfo, confirming information from Republican East.

The Montbéliard investigation center – now seized of the case – has just opened a judicial investigation for “kidnapping and sequestration followed by death”. This is a new stage in the investigation into the death of this young man.

On December 7, the victim was found, dying, on the side of the road in Danjoutin by a passer-by who had raised the alarm. The young man had received “very violent fatal blows”. Originally from Haute-Saône, he finally succumbed to his injuries, three days later, on December 10, at the Besançon University Hospital. The suspect(s) are still being sought.
