Five young girls aged 11 to 15 are suspected of having “beat up” a 14-year-old girl and of having filmed the attack on Wednesday in Tours. They must be presented this Friday to a judge with a view to indictment, we learned from consistent sources, confirming information from The New Republic.
“The young girls knew their victim from school and their neighborhood,” explains a police source to AFP, specifying that the reason for the dispute is “a vague boy story.”
They were “trying hard” while filming the scene
The victim was “kicked, punched in the head, slapped. She found herself on the ground, curled up, and did not defend herself” while the alleged attackers “struggled” while filming the scene.
The images, viewed by investigators, are “very violent”, adds this same source, who denounces “a beating”. The victim had a “broken nose” and was prescribed seven days of temporary incapacity for work (ITT).
This attack occurred the day before other violent events such as in Montpellier, where a 13-year-old girl, Samara, was attacked by classmates at her school following “insults” on social networks.
On Thursday, a 15-year-old teenager was attacked and left for dead near his college in Viry-Châtillon, in Essonne. He ultimately died from his injuries this Friday.
