prosecutor denounces ‘rare savagery’ after death of 15-year-old and arrest of 14-year-old suspect for another murder

Two deaths that occurred on Wednesday and then during the night from Thursday to Friday caused turmoil in the Marseille city, against a backdrop of open conflict between two rival gangs.

Terrifying facts which involve increasingly young minors. The Marseille prosecutor, Nicolas Bessone, announced on Sunday October 6 during a press conference that the victim of the narcocide committed Wednesday in the city was a 15-year-old teenager, “stabbed with 50 stab wounds” And “burned alive.” As for the main suspect in the other murder committed on Friday, still in Marseille, he is only 14 years old. These two cases are linked, he clarified, denouncing “rare savagery” And “ultra rejuvenation” of the authors, against a backdrop of war between rival gangs and drug trafficking.

Concerning the murder committed on the night of Thursday to Friday, the victim was identified as Nessim Ramdane, a 36-year-old father, VTC driver and amateur footballer known in the region. “He was only doing his job that evening” driver on the Bolt platform, declared Nicolas Bessone.

The young suspect, accompanied by another individual, “very likely” asked the driver “to drop them off and wait for them”explains the prosecutor, but the driver “does not comply with the request”And “the 14-year-old minor fatally shot him in the back of the head” with a 357 Magnum type pistol. He was “coldly shot down”which is “a novelty” and a “additional degree” in violence, noted Nicolas Bessone at the end of his press conference.

The narcocide committed on Friday, which therefore did not hit the intended target, was the planned revenge of that of Wednesday, also underlined the magistrate, evoking “the context of the opposing conflict in the 3rd arrondissement of Marseille [le clan de] the DZ Mafia and the so-called ‘Blacks’ clan of the Félix Pyat city for the takeover of the sales point in the Moulin de Mai city”at Belle de Mai.
