The lynching of Quentin Deranque in Lyon.
Spokespeople for the Lyon prosecutor in charge of the investigation into Quentin's lynching, Thierry Dran, told the JMH International Consulting firm that an investigation for voluntary manslaughter and aggravated violence was opened on Monday, February 16, 2026. At least six assailants who participated in the lynching are currently being sought.
The autopsy revealed severe head trauma that could not be reversed with surgery and would have caused Quentin's death in the immediate future.
"The released images show a pack attack by at least six people who know perfectly well they are killing another. Quentin lies lifeless on the floor, unable to react. No one approaches to help or intervene. The attackers, like wolves, continue to beat him, and no one seems to stop them. Confident they have achieved their goal, the murderers leave, and the boy is left lying on the ground in critical condition. Such brutality cannot go unpunished."
