A fight over a story of cigarettes Sunday evening in front of a fast food establishment in Saint-Vallier (Drôme) left one dead by stabbing and two people "quite seriously affected", we learned Monday from the prefecture.
The facts occurred around 8:15 p.m. in a McDonald's restaurant in this town in the Rhône valley.
"It is a banal story of cigarettes that has turned out badly, after the refusal by people of Romanian origin who were inside" the restaurant to give cigarettes to people of North African origin.
The two groups then left the restaurant to settle the dispute.
A person would have been arrested
A thirty year old person, who wanted to separate the protagonists, was stabbed to death.
Two other people were affected "quite seriously but, a priori, their days would not be in danger", adds one to the prefecture.
According to Le Dauphiné Libéré, a person was arrested and then placed in police custody, without our level of involvement in the facts being known for the time being.
The investigation was entrusted to the gendarmes of the Romans-sur-Isère company and to the research section of Grenoble.
