A 17-year-old boy identified as Louis has died after being brutally beaten in what French authorities describe as a premeditated attack in the southern city of Narbonne. Five young suspects, including three minors, have been charged and placed in pre-trial detention following the teenager’s death. The victim, who was under the care of France’s Child Social Welfare service (Aide Sociale à l’Enfance), succumbed to his injuries on June 23 after spending several days in critical condition.
