Controversy Over Crépol Tragedy Book

Published: 2025-03-28

The publication of "Une nuit en France," a book investigating the 2023 Crépol tragedy, has sparked outrage among the family of Thomas, the 16-year-old victim.

The book, written by Jean-Michel Décugis, Pauline Guéna, and Marc Leplongeon, revisits the fatal stabbing during a village event but has been criticized for its narrative.

Thomas's parents accuse the authors of trivializing violence and presenting a biased account while the case remains under judicial investigation.

They argue that the book disrupts the pursuit of justice and risks distorting public understanding of the incident.

The family has expressed their pain and called for respect for the judicial process, emphasizing that the time for interpretations should come only after justice is served.
