On Saturday February 5, a “ partly stiffened
” corpse
of a 21-year-old young man was found by the police in an apartment in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in the middle of
“a large amount of blood
”.
If a judicial investigation has since been opened for "assassination", the time is now for meditation.
This Wednesday, March 15, at 2:30 p.m., nearly 200 people are expected at the Brive-la-Gaillarde cemetery, in Corrèze, for the funeral of the victim, Valentin.

All the standard-bearers of the "Souvenir Français" - of which Valentin was a part - will also be present.
“
It is a question of paying homage to one of their own
”, slips to
Figaro
the president of the association Serge Barcellini.
"
Valentin was very invested in Le Souvenir Français, he carried the flag during all the ceremonies, including that of May 8, November 11, for the day of the deportation, and also for that of June 18", continues Serge Barcellini
.
Valentin was even soon to receive a diploma from his association for his commitment.
The young student also planned to make a film on Le Souvenir Français, of which he had been a member for 3 years.
He had joined the association when it had placed in his high school, as "
patriotic reference
”, the “
Rhine and Danube
” flag.
A few days after the discovery of the body, a 24-year-old man was arrested and placed in police custody as part of a preliminary investigation for "intentional homicide", the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed to Le
Figaro
.
This police custody was subsequently lifted due to "
a medical examination which concluded that the state of health of the person concerned was incompatible with his continued custody
" and the respondent was taken in the psychiatric infirmary.
