Rue Denis Forestier, where the rubalises still surround the place of the assault, two roses were placed on the sidewalk. The inhabitants still cannot believe it.

Authorities have not confirmed this version.

Rides leave the fair

The daughter of this local resident, a high school student, knew Ladjel well. “I met him several years ago through friends, he has always been very nice, when I was afraid to come home late and alone at home at night, he would take me home,” she testifies. The school dropout according to our information wanted to embark on a career as a rapper. He even recorded a song. “He had launched his Youtube channel, it was really what he wanted to do,” she adds.
