French prosecutors believe 17-year-old Louis was lured into a planned ambush and beaten to death in retaliation for reporting a previous assault to police, with attackers allegedly taunting him during the attack: 'You won't talk to the police anymore.'
The teenager died in hospital on 23 June after several days in a medically induced coma following the attack in Narbonne, southern France. Prosecutors have since upgraded the case to premeditated murder as investigators examine whether the killing was directly linked to his earlier police complaint.
