A teenager assaulted in Montignies-sur-Sambre: "They threw me in a trash and set fire"

The yard of the François Fronnais communal school in Montignies-sur-Sambre is littered with garbage. On the ground, we see the projections of a fire extinguisher, vestiges of the fire that occurred Tuesday night. According to local police and prosecutors in Charleroi, S., a 13-year-old boy, was attacked by two other minors. They would have locked him in a large metal bin before throwing fire at the papers. It is only thanks to the intervention of a comrade that the young teenager was able to free himself, instead of roasting alive.

When we arrived on the spot, this Wednesday, a crowd had formed on this that local youth call the little wall right in front of the school yard. S., the victim, is one of the protagonists. Of his aggression, this little blond tease only keeps a scratch in the leg. When one solicits his testimony, he is immediately threatened by a young person, major that one. "Nothing happened here, he has nothing to say" he throws us, trying to put pressure before going a little further, observing the facts and gestures

On the sidelines, S. confirms that he was thrown into the trash. "I do not know why they did that, they blocked her with a fence and a bike so that I could not get out." Today, they want to make me believe that I went there alone and that I lit the fire on my own, it's anything " he adds discreetly. Her mother, shocked by the events, confirms that she has also been threatened since the events: "I've been holding the bakery for three years, and I found it flying on the shelves so I chased them out Maybe that's why they're angry at us Since my son was attacked and the two perpetrators were taken away by the police, the young people from the city come to threaten me. they are imprisoned, it will end badly. "

And in fact, while the interview ends, two young people spend their head in the bakery, under a false pretext. Their presence is immediately felt like a pressure. And when we go out, they say: "Hey boss, come and listen to our version, she says anything, she just wants to get rid of us because we are hanging out in front of her business. When the police arrived, he accused the two young people, frankly, they are good guys, they are the first to help the elderly to carry their bags. "

The prosecution did not see this eye and sent the two young people of 13 and 16 years before the juvenile judge. The penalty will be known this Thursday.
