Mayor of Viry-Chatillon calls for support for the mother of the 15-year-old schoolboy killed. Jean-Marie Vilain said he was horrified by an “absolute drama” whose “reason cannot be used” It was his first speech since the announcement of the death of the severely beaten schoolboy on Thursday.

“Whatever the reason, it is unacceptable to massacre a kid like that,” he said, saying he was caught in the “guts” by “such a degree of violence”
