Two teenage girls were heard by the gendarmes, Thursday and Friday, in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Aged 13, they are suspected of having degraded graves in the cemetery of Osseja, a village not far from the Spanish border, indicate the services of the gendarmerie at 20 minutes this Monday.
According to the first elements of the investigation, they would have acted "out of pure stupidity", and there would be no will of desecration, continues the gendarmerie.
Broken statuettes and vases, inverted crosses
About fifty tombs had been damaged in this cemetery. Bouquets of flowers were thrown, broken statuettes and vases, inverted crosses and a few souvenir plaques broken or moved between the graves, the mayor of the commune, Roger Ciurana, listed on Thursday. It is a family, who came to meditate on Wednesday afternoon at the cemetery, who notified the town hall after noting the damage.
Investigations are continuing, in an attempt to identify the victims of the damage.
