A 17-year-old boy was allegedly lured into a trap and beaten to death in Narbonne, France, in an incident that has prompted a police investigation.
The attack reportedly took place on June 12. The prosecutor's office in Narbonne confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and all circumstances of the assault are being examined.
Wallah, I knocked him out.
Adding a disturbing dimension to the case, a video dated June 12 has surfaced online. The footage appears to show the individuals now suspected of the murder assaulting the victim in a prior incident, with one alleged assailant heard saying, "Wallah, I knocked him out."
This revelation has intensified calls for stricter measures against juvenile delinquency. One politician commented that the state needs to act more decisively against serious crimes committed by minors, suggesting that delayed or lenient punishments send the wrong message to perpetrators.
