Key to fatal strangulation in Drancy: incomprehension surrounding the dismissal of charges granted to the police officer. Paris Court of Appeal has just exonerated the agent who grabbed Philippe Ferrières by the neck to control him during an arrest.

“I have the impression that the police benefit from more impunity than ordinary mortals. This dismissal is like nothing had happened for my son,” he laments this Sunday. On May 24, 2019, Philippe, 36, his only son, died after being strangled.
