Two 29-year-old cousins ​​appeared in court on Tuesday for hitting, threatening and stabbing two men in Sisteron (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).

They had participated in a punitive expedition on Sunday after the attack on a member of their family, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré.

One of the defendants began by stabbing one of the victims in the buttocks and knees.

His accomplice, already convicted of theft, then attacked the second victim.

He threatened him with a dummy gun and punched him in the face.

“My client had gone to buy bread”

In court, the issue of premeditation was discussed at length.

In the cousins' phones, text messages were discovered in which they planned their revenge talking about "Turkish torture" and other abuses.

However, the lawyer of one of the defendants assured: “My client had gone to buy bread.

There is no premeditation.
