Yvelines: kidnapped, beaten and left for dead after the theft of a motocross

It would be an obscure story of motocross theft that would have led to this outburst of violence.

A 20-year-old young man is on the verge of death after being kidnapped and beaten on Tuesday afternoon between Fontenay-le-Fleury (Yvelines) and Carrières-sous-Poissy.

One of his alleged attackers, also 20 years old, was arrested in the evening before being taken into custody at the Plaisir police station.

This story begins around 3:40 p.m. in the square Lamartine, where young people have made an appointment to conclude the sale of a cross bike following an advertisement published on the Leboncoin.fr site.

Four buyers show up at the meeting and two of them immediately steal the machine.

And the sellers try to rebel and Kémys, who remained there, is beaten.

The police were notified and intervened quickly.

When the officials arrive, everyone flees except Kémys, who does not wish to file a complaint for the violence and remains very evasive about the perpetrators and their motivations.

An hour later in front of the Montigny-le-Bretonneux bus station, a strong group of five men surprised Kémys in the street.

They hit him and force him to get into a Peugeot 208. A passer-by surprises the scene and warns the police.

The first findings reveal that one of the kidnappers was wearing a red t-shirt.

Research is underway.

But the investigators are unable to find the car and its occupants.

Found brain dead

Around 8:10 p.m. avenue Ernest Jolly in Carrières-sous-Poissy, the firefighters intervened to rescue a young man, found unconscious in the street after being attacked.

This boy is none other than Kémys.

"He was brain dead," said a source close to the case.

The victim is transported to the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital (Val-de-Marne).

At 11:10 p.m., the police carried out a surveillance operation in Fontenay-le-Fleury in front of the accommodation of the owner of the 208. They saw him returning home at the wheel of his car, dressed in a red t-shirt.

The man was arrested and placed in police custody on the premises of the police station for kidnapping and violence in a meeting.

The continuation of the investigations should make it possible to identify his accomplices and their motivations because many gray areas persist around this business of selling motorcycles.
