Public Outrage After 17-Year-Old Boxer Stabbed to Death in Normandy
2nd October 2024
Just a week after the murder of young Philippine in the Bois de Boulogne near Paris, involving a Moroccan migrant facing deportation, another murder has stirred up French public opinion: that of a 17-year-old man, Kilian Binard, who was stabbed to death on Sunday, September 29th in Normandy. This time, the suspect is of Algerian nationality.
According to the initial findings of the investigation, the stabbing occurred in the early hours of Sunday, September 29th, as the young man was leaving a nightclub near Bayeux. The victim, a 17-year-old boxer, became involved in a fight involving around twenty people in the nightclub car park. The suspect allegedly hit Kilian in the back and neck with a knife recovered from his car.
The suspect, an Algerian national, was in possession of a ten-year residence permit that had recently been renewed. The permit was withdrawn after Kilian’s murder. The man initially denied all charges against him, before admitting that he had picked up a knife during the fight, “unfolded the blade and used it to strike the first person in front of him, which he said had no intention of killing,” according to the prosecutor in charge of the investigation.
