More than six years after the murder of Bakari T. and Soriba M. in the town of Clos-Saint-Lazare in Stains and the attempted murder of the former’s brother, six defendants answered for these crimes before the Assize Court of Seine-Saint-Denis in Bobigny. Their trial started a week ago. This debate will end on December 5. Therefore, it took more than three weeks to reveal this dark issue, but without any certainty to see more clearly the end of the debate. Firstly because the defendant denies it. Also because certain elements of evidence are not very strong and the motive is not clear.
What is especially clear is that Bakari and Soriba were hit by scooter shooter bullets, classic score-settling style, during a commando operation. The three victims were targeted on the night of 15-16 July 2019 on rue Alfred-de-Musset, in front of the building hall of the Bakari family and his brother. The three friends were returning from an evening in Saint-Denis where they had just had dinner. They chatted in Bakari’s Twingo, which was mounted in the passenger seat, while his brother was in the back and Soriba behind the wheel.
