SaintChron (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Feb, 2021 ) :The French government sent police reinforcements on Tuesday evening to two Paris suburbs to try break a cycle of gang violence after two 14-year-olds were stabbed to death in separate brawls.
The two killings took place within less than 24 hours in the Essonne department south of Paris.
In the first incident on Monday, a 14-year-old girl died of stab wounds to the stomach during a fight between a dozen youths outside a school in the town of Saint-Cheron, 50 kilometres (31 miles) south of Paris.
Six minors aged between 13 and 16 have been arrested over her death.
One of the suspects, who was known to the police, has admitted to delivering the fatal blow with a pocket knife, according to the public prosecutor for the area, Caroline Nisand.
The second stabbing took place on Tuesday in the town of Boussy-Saint-Antoine, 45 kilometres away in the east, where a 14-year-old boy died, also "very likely after being stabbed in the stomach", local authorities told AFP.
A 13-year-old boy was also seriously injured after being stabbed in the throat during a clash between around 30 youths from gangs in two towns on either side of Boussy-Saint-Antoine.
The suspected perpetrator of the stabbing turned himself in to police.
The deaths come after an outcry last month over a video of a 15-year-old in southern Paris suffering a vicious gang beating that left him in a coma.
