An outburst of violence between two families that has not revealed its origin.
He was going to the gendarmerie to file a complaint for an assault committed around 10 p.m. on Tuesday March 1. But after a thorough investigation by the gendarmes, the reality was quite different.
In his first version, the 24-year-old plaintiff explains that he was going to look for a friend to spend the evening in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone when suddenly two people (two brothers) appeared and kicked his car with baton. Breaking the windshield. Free violence.
Knives, brass knuckles, rifle
But after meticulous investigations carried out by the Villeneuve brigade and the research brigade, it turns out that the victim did not stop there. The 24-year-old returned to the scene with reinforcements, a dozen people, family and friends, armed with chains, a knife and a baseball bat.
One of the two aggressors at the start, he too has meanwhile armed himself with an alarm pistol and a kitchen knife. As he cocked the dog, the panic-stricken group opposite fled. It is there that the complaint arrived at the gendarmes.
The searches of the parties’ homes were successful. At the plaintiff domiciled in Montpellierthey will seize the alarm pistol, a .22 long rifle, and some cannabis and camong the implicated brothers aged 27 and 40, Villeneuvois, knives, tear gas canisters and brass knuckles.
A skid
The three suspects were taken into custody on Thursday, where they admitted their slippage.
Luckily, there are no injuries. As for the motive, it remains vague. The trio was brought before the prosecution and then received a summons by report for reciprocal violence, threat with a weapon in a meeting and degradation of property of others.
In the meantime, the defendants have been placed under judicial control with a ban on going to Villeneuve for one and for the two brothers to Montpellier, until the trial.
