The 15-year-old schoolboy who was severely beaten on Thursday in Viry-Chatillon, in Essonne, died this Friday early in the afternoon. The teenager had “emergency” surgery on the night of Thursday to Friday, after being transferred to Necker hospital (Paris) on the evening of Thursday with his life threatening injuries.

The investigation now focuses on the counts of “assassination and violence in a meeting near a school establishment’. “Investigations are continuing to determine the circumstances of these criminal acts and allow the arrest of the perpetrators,” adds the public prosecutor of Évry-Courcouronnes, Grégoire Dulin.
