Judges investigating the 2023 murder of 16-year-old resident of the French village of Crepolle Thomas Perotto also added aggravated racism to the charges brought against the defendants. Liberation writes about this.
The murder was committed at a village festival. Towards the end, a group of teenage immigrants from a neighboring town burst into the room where he was passing and attacked those present with knives. Toma received injuries incompatible with life. Two more people were seriously injured.
14 participants in the attack were charged with murder and attempted murder committed as part of an organized group. The new charge was based on testimony that the attackers shouted, “We’re here to kill white people!”
