MARSEILLE, Oct 6 — A 15-year-old boy was “stabbed 50 times” and burned alive this week in the southern French city of Marseille in an apparent case of drug-related violence, prosecutors said today.

Speaking to reporters, Marseille prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said the teenager was murdered on Wednesday, describing the case as one of “unprecedented savagery.”

Marseille, France’s second-largest city but also one of its poorest, is plagued by drug-related violence.

Bessone said that victims and perpetrators of such violence were getting increasingly younger.

The city has in recent years witnessed a turf war for control of the highly profitable drug market between various clans including DZ Mafia.

The teenager had been hired by a 23-year-old prisoner to intimidate a competitor by setting fire to his door, the prosecutor said, adding he had been promised €2,000 (RM9,266).

The teenager had however been spotted by members of a rival gang who repeatedly stabbed him then set him on fire, he added.

The same prisoner then recruited a 14-year-old minor to carry out a revenge attack and kill a member of the Blacks gang, promising to pay him €50,000.

The 14-year-old hired a 36-year-old driver who angered the minor and ended up being killed.

The two latest cases mean that the number of drug-related killings in Marseille has risen to 17 since the start of the year.

By comparison, a total of 49 people were killed in drug related violence in Marseille in 2023. — AFP
