Nîmes: stabbed football coach, the accused facing the court

Salim Boudral was tried for murder in Vauvert in May 2019 against a backdrop of dissension in the world of the football club and tensions with his coach. The victim was the coach of the local team. The defense disputes premeditation.

This Monday, April 11, the trial of Salim Boudral resumed before the Assize Court of Gard to examine the assassination of the coach of the Vauvert football club perpetrated in May 2019. Aged 21 at the time of the events, he is accused of having stabbed Redouane Abbaoui when he and the coach were to meet around 10 p.m. The young man stabbed him seven times and kicked him in the head, then he got into a car to escape the residents who had just realized that the coach had been stabbed. The crowd threw rocks and chairs at him in an attempt to stop him.
