Who Killed Young Laura? Last Thursday, Laura, a 16-year-old high school student, was stabbed to death near an esplanade, in Sallaumines, near Lens, in the Pas-de-Calais region. After a week of investigations, investigators from the Lille judicial police (PJ) have not yet arrested a suspect.

Laura's body had been found at the end of the day, last Thursday, near the ground in front of which she usually passed to return from high school. The emergency services, who had been unable to do anything to revive her, had noted her death on the spot. Examination of the body had revealed stab marks on the adolescent's neck and thorax. The autopsy had determined that Laura had been stabbed four times and that she had not been subjected to sexual violence according to the prosecutor's office of Béthune, in charge of the case.

Numerous analyzes and hearings but no questioning

On the evening of the murder, the Lille judicial police had been designated to carry out the criminal investigation. Numerous samples had been taken from the crime scene. "They are being analyzed by the forensic laboratory," said the prosecution. In the meantime, the police have conducted a very large number of hearings: "relatives, family and schoolmates, but no suspect has been arrested yet", say the services of the public prosecutor.

Laura's funeral was celebrated this Thursday in the Saint-Vaast church in Sallaumines. Contrary to the many rumors circulating on social networks, the adolescent's family was not prohibited from organizing a white march. "According to the will of Laura's mother, there will be a rally on Saturday from 2 p.m. at the Paul-Vaillant-Couturier stadium," said one at the town hall of the town.

On Twitter in particular, an impressive number of messages carry the hashtag #JeSuisLaura. In addition to tributes to the teenager and support for the family, many question the so-called media silence on this affair. On the fact that justice would voluntarily hide elements. There are even many tweets with foul-smelling and fascinating content. So many rumors that Myriam intends to silence with a sincere “Stop your bullshit! "
