The burglary would have gone very badly.
A second man was indicted in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) as part of the investigation into the murder of Nadir Marouf, 18, on August 9.
Around 10 p.m. that evening, the young man was found lifeless on his bed, gagged and tied up with duct tape, in the family apartment located in a quiet area of Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire ( Loire Atlantique).
A pillow was placed on his head.
The autopsy will confirm that the high school student died of asphyxiation.
It was one of her friends, worried not to hear from him, who had sounded the alarm.

The investigation, entrusted to the judicial police of Nantes, quickly made the link with a marginal of 30 years who has his habits in the center of the city.
On August 20, the man was arrested and indicted for "aggravated theft and murder".
According to our information, the marginal wanted to rob the apartment where the high school student lived with his mother and his stepfather.
The latter is the treasurer of the association of the Aïcha mosque in Nantes and one of his faithful could have directed the marginal to this home, of which he thought all the occupants had gone on vacation, according to “Presse Océan”.
Nadir's parents had indeed taken the road to Spain a few days earlier.
Did the alleged murderer think he could get his hands on the "treasure" of the mosque in their absence?
A faithful of the mosque suspected of complicity
The faithful in question, a 59-year-old man, was indicted on Friday September 18 for "complicity in theft followed by death" and "criminal concealment".
He was remanded in custody.
According to "Presse Océan", it is the study of the telephony of the marginalized which made it possible to make the link between the two men.
The Nantes judicial police are continuing their investigations to find possible other accomplices.
On August 16, a white march was organized in honor of young Nadir.
Two hundred people marched through the streets of the town of the inner south-eastern suburb of Nantes and went to the foot of his family's building where they released white balloons in tribute to this boy whom his relatives describe as "Funny, generous, discreet, loving and polite".
