The 33-year-old man, who caused a fatal collision killing Joseph Samson, nicknamed “Sonny’, 32, was presented this Sunday to an investigating judge for “drunken murder” The prosecution considered that this man residing in Val-de-Marne had intentionally hit his victim. In police custody, the latter allegedly explained that he had acted out of panic.
Sonny, as those close to him called him, was the father of two young children. He was born in France, had grown up in Blanc-Mesnil, but “he was a Haitian”, his best friend, Tayzzi, emphasized on Friday. The cardiac massages provided by the firefighters did not save him. His friends present him as someone who liked to party and who was passionate about football. They stayed for many hours while about ten meters further away, behind a tarpaulin, the scientific police were still taking samples from their friend's body. “If you weren't well, when you saw him, you felt better.”
