A 47-year-old man was taken into police custody on Saturday on suspicion of having stabbed at least one stab at a 36-year-old man who died of his injuries during a brawl on Friday night in a building in Calais, we learned from the prosecution.

The emergency services were called a little before 9:00 p.m. for a stabbing which had left three wounded, according to a statement from the firefighters: a 36-year-old man “seriously injured”, a 47-year-old man “slightly injured” and a 42-year-old woman "slightly injured", all three transported to the Calais hospital.

The thirty-something "died of his injuries," said the prosecutor of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pascal Marconville on Saturday morning, specifying that the investigation initially opened for willful violence was going to fall under the head of "homicide".

"A man is currently in custody," he added, confirming that it was a 47-year-old man, without further details at this stage.

According to a police source, it would be a neighborhood dispute that degenerated for a smell of cold tobacco in the common areas of the building.

The protagonists first exchanged punches, then stabs.
