On July 18, 2024, a tragic fire in a residential building in the Moulins neighborhood of Nice claimed the lives of seven people, including three children.
The fire was reportedly set by a group of young men, leading to the arrest of two suspects who are now in custody.
They face serious charges, including destruction of property and participation in a criminal organization.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as residents tried to help those trapped inside, including a father who fell from a window while attempting to escape.
The investigation continues as police search for three additional suspects believed to be involved in the incident, which is linked to a drug-related dispute.
The victims, all from the same Comorian family, were not connected to the ongoing territorial conflict.
