Bilel S., 26, is on trial for having killed a city friend following a turbulent evening in a hookah bar marked by disagreements. He was his mother's "pet", whom he joined in sweat in bed to calm her nightmares when he was a child.
If he admits to having fired, it is without having wanted the death of Alassane, who was 22 years old and with whom he grew up in La Muette. He has been appearing before the Val-d'Oise Assize Court for murder since Monday.
