“unspeakable things”, these horrible messages that the teenager’s father receives

On April 27, France was shaken by a terrible tragedy: the murder of a 15-year-old boy, Matisse, who was stabbed to death. A tragedy which took place in the town of Châteauroux in Indre after “ a fight involving two minors “. The suspect, another teenager of the same age, of Afghan origin, already known to the courts, indicted for the murder of Matisse. His mother is also suspected of having hit the young man while he was injured on the ground and was placed under judicial supervision.

A terrible story which could have provoked a desire for revenge on the part of the young boy’s father. Going against popular belief, the father of the family, Christophe Marchais, then published a touching and moving message in honor of his son on social networks on April 30, calling for peace. If he mentions for a moment having thought of hatred and anger, he instead chooses the path of appeasement. It is in this context that Matisse’s dad gave an interview on France 3 published on the channel’s social networks.

Obnoxious comments under the video of Matisse’s dad

A strong interview in which Christophe Marchais calls on all French people to calm down: “ I don’t want anyone to take ownership of Matou’s death, from any side. He loved everyone, I want everyone to be like that“, he explains in the video. However, this seems not to have been respected. Recovered by the far right, the murder of young Matisse gave free rein to a surge of hatred on social networks. “Vendetta and no mercy» can we read below the interview with Christophe Marchais or even «I burn it“.

An executive from the Reconquest! party, Damien Rieu, directly exposed the face of the main suspect on his own social networks when others revealed his name as well as the address and the name of his parents. An approach to which Christophe Marchais does not adhere, he tellsFrance 3: “I couldn’t imagine… I receive private messages saying: ‘Your son was murdered and you are asking that we publish otters, shame on you» before continuing:“I would have to declare war on I don’t know who, I don’t know what. We realize that there are a lot of idiots.»

Murder of Matisse: the web stormed by hateful comments

It wasn’t just the interview with Matisse’s dad that was targeted, his restaurant’s page on Google also received abject comments referring to his son’s death: “However, I was told that their 15-year-old dishes were killer“, we can read. Comments “unspeakable» which were removed by Christophe Marchais who entrusted the problem to the cyber police. Reports to Google have also been made, which explains that it is taking matters into its own hands and working with the authorities “about this kind of situation“.

But on the social network Telegram, it’s a completely different story. According to the first president of the Court of Appeal of Châteauroux, Alain Vanzo, and the prosecutor general of the court of appeal, Éric Maillaud, “hateful and threatening remarks against a former magistrate of the Châteauroux judicial court» were expressed by estimating “be able to reproach, in the context of previous criminal cases, the release of this minor (the suspect)“. Vigilance therefore for “guarantee the independence of justice» which the two men commented: “We can only be indignant at the fact, in defiance of the law which represses all forms of threats and hatred online and in the anonymity provided by the Internet» adding that the magistrate “has never intervened, in any capacity whatsoever, in civil or criminal proceedings“.
