14-Year-Old Fatally Stabbed in Évreux; 16-Year-Old Suspect in Custody

Authorities investigate a fatal stabbing reportedly linked to a personal dispute within a close-knit group in Normandy.

A 14-year-old boy was killed on Friday, January 10, 2025, in Évreux, Normandy, reportedly from a knife wound to the chest.
The 16-year-old suspect turned himself in to police later that evening and was placed in custody for questioning.
The mayor of Évreux, Guy Lefrand, suggested that the incident stemmed from a 'romantic dispute' within the same community or social group.
The suspect claimed he acted in self-defense after being confronted by a group of individuals, some allegedly armed, before the altercation escalated.
An ongoing investigation aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident, with no further details released by the prosecutor's office as of Saturday morning.
