Not everybody celebrates Christmas in France, as we all know, but this Christmas Day, a group of young Pakistanis and Turks decided to exchange Christmas gifts in their own way. It appears that 6-7 Pakistani teenagers attacked a group of Turkish teenagers in downtown Limoges on December 25. One 16-year-old from the latter group was stabbed to death in the melee. Now French police have 5 Pakistani teenagers in custody charged with voluntary homicide.

The use of video surveillance cameras confirmed that there was a fight between two groups before they separated and fled in two opposite directions. The Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) subsequently arrested 5 Pakistani minors, of no fixed abode, in the same sector, who corresponded to the individuals from the videosurveillance images. They were taken into custody Monday evening. No knife was found in their possession.
An investigation has been opened by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Limoges for voluntary homicide, and the Interdepartmental Directorate of the National Police (DIPN), formerly the Judicial Police, has been assigned.
