Friday, November 24, more than a thousand people attended the funeral of young Thomas, killed during a village festival. Faced with investigators, the main suspect denies having carried out the fatal stabbing.
It was a time for silence and contemplation as the coffin of young Thomas entered the church of Saint-Donat-sur-l’Herbasse (Drôme), Friday November 24 in the morning. In the middle of a sad crowd, some boys wore the jerseys of the local rugby club. Thomas, 16, was their captain. The ceremony was broadcast outside using loudspeakers. The victim’s grandfather was the first to speak, his voice choked with sobs. “Thomas was a good boy, reserved, well-mannered and helpful”, he assured. And to add: “A gang of thugs who had a knife for his heart took his life.”
“We are all outraged by what happened”assures a woman present at the ceremony. A few kilometers away, the nine suspects are still being questioned by investigators. According to a source close to the investigation, the main suspect denies having dealt the fatal blow to Thomas.
