- Three men died on Sunday in an assault rifle attack in the French port city of Marseille, which has seen a surge of drug-related gang murders in recent months, police said.
Police found a burning car nearby, but would not confirm immediately whether it was the gunmen’s getaway car. Regional prefect Frederique Camilleri told reporters at the scene that “the entire police force has been mobilised to find the perpetrators of these despicable crimes and to dismantle the networks of the traffickers behind this violence”.
The victims are typically young men low in the hierarchy of drug gangs, and targeted by killers working for rival gangs. Ms Laurens said at the time that there was a worsening “blood bath” in Marseille and predicted that it would “continue in the coming months”.
