The lawyer for the 14-year-old suspect in the attack on Samara in Montpellier (Hérault), Mickael Poilpré, assures that his client “was herself the victim of harassment on social media from Samara”in an interview given Wednesday April 10 to France Bleu Hérault.

Samara, 13, was attacked in front of her school in Montpellier on Tuesday April 2. Three minors aged 14 and 15 who admitted to having hit the teenager were indicted for “attempted intentional homicide” and placed under judicial supervision, including a 14-year-old girl, a student like Samara at Arthur-Rimbaud college. , in the popular district of La Mosson-La Paillade.

“They were rivals”

“They were rivals, especially through social networks,” explains his lawyer. “She herself was the victim of harassment on social networks from Samara. My young client explains to me that since the start of the school year, she had been experiencing harassment from young Samara, through photos of her posted on social networks.

According to the lawyer, the only explanation for this “surge of violence” against Samara is therefore to be found in this rivalry and these acts of harassment, not in religious facts: “These are insults from teenager to teenager which are not connoted by a religious aspect. This aspect is totally nebulous. We heard that she had criticized Samara because she had dyed her hair red, but my customer has the same hair. From now on “at 200 kilometers from Montpellier” as part of her judicial review, the 14-year-old girl is “upset to see that violence played a huge part in this story.” “She feels responsible,” the lawyer finishes.
